	GAO-06-933T, Maritime Security: Information-Sharing Efforts Are Improving
		In contrast, the area maritime security committees, while they have a broader membership, primarily provide information through meetings, documents, and other means that are often used for long-term planning purposes rather than day-to-day operations.
		Unlike the area maritime security committees, these centers are operational in nature--that is, they have a unified or joint command structure designed to receive information and act on it.
		The second database--an internally developed spreadsheet on the area maritime committee participants--summarizes information on the status of the security clearance program, such as whether officials have submitted their application forms and whether they have received their clearances.

	Welcome to the Australian Defence Group (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		National Air Support, whose subsidiary Surveillance Australia provides Coastwatch's fixed-wing aerial surveillance capability, has entered an exclusive partnership with General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, manufacturer of the US Air Force's Predator family of UAVs and their maritime surveillance variants, the Mariner.
		This program is the largest civil maritime surveillance program in the world, flying more than 20,000 hours per year and covering a surveillance area larger than the Australian mainland.
		NAS studied a number of UAVs and settled on the Mariner for another important reason - its surveillance payload lends itself to a traditional maritime surveillance concept of operations which, for optimum sensor performance and surveillance effectiveness, requires the aircraft to operate for extended periods at low to medium altitude.

		Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance aircraft (P-3/EP-3) continue to fulfill critical warfighting roles including undersea warfare; surface warfare; electronic warfare; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; maritime interdiction; littoral strike and targeting.
		A key modernization effort for both the maritime patrol and reconnaissance fleet is the replacement of mission systems in our legacy aircraft to give the warfighter the capability to conduct anti-submarine warfare (ASW), anti-surface warfare (ASUW) and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) in the 21st Century.
		Forward presence, maritime dominance and decisive landward power projection in the littorals require modern aircraft and weapons systems capable of responding rapidly to a wide range of missions in an increasingly complex and demanding threat environment.

		BMUP is the latest just-in-time stopgap, considering that the Multi-mission Maritime Aircraft Program is running into increasing friction; the P-3C is likely to be flying even past its most recent official projected retirement date of 2015, with operations into 2019 now foreseen and duty beyond that possible.
		The MMA analysis also includes the Broad Area Maritime Surveillance Unmanned Aerial Vehicle concept as part of the MPA solution for the 21st century.
		Boeing has taken its multimission maritime concept aircraft on the road to generate support from the US Navy for what could be a $ 2 billion + contract to replace the P-3C.

		Well we are going to trial them for that surveillance task with their exceptionally long range, their sustainability.
		We believe that that they can give us a new and better surveillance capability so we’ll test both the Global Hawk and the Mariner in that task during the course of next year and we believe that it will assist us in the ultimate purchasing decision.
		Canada I think is going to undertake trials over the Arctic, so whilst nobody uses them as yet in the maritime surveillance area, it’s recognised as the way of the future and advanced western nations are very interested in bringing the capability into force as soon as possible.

	Sea Power: Navy Moves Toward Goal of More Surveillance With Fewer Aircraft
		Naval surveillance experts envision a future of broader, more persistent coverage of the oceans, faster search and localization of targets, and more lethal response, provided by a smaller force with less manpower and lower lifecycle operational and maintenance costs.
		The keys to these prospective achievements are a nextgeneration patrol plane called the Multimission Maritime Aircraft (MMA), and an unmanned aircraft, the long-range, high-endurance Broad-Area Maritime Surveillance (BAMS) system.
		The MMA is designed to replace the Navy's fleet of P-3C Orion four-engine patrol planes, many of which are more than 30 years old and approaching the end of their service lives.
