In this infographic, Defence IQ takes a look at the current maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) requirements across the globe. It also considers in detail what future trends and requirments may be in this field over the next few years.

Emphasising this, Lieutenant Commander Mike Ruminski, Deputy Head of Logistics, Maritime Component Command (MCC) Northwood, NATO, recently highlighted three priority demands NATO has to further enhance its counter-piracy efforts: Helicopters, Tankers (for flexibility), and Maritime Patrol Aircraft (to maintain Situational Awareness).

On the latter, Ruminski said “We can’t get enough of them.”
