	CP-140A Arcturus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lacking the expensive, heavy and sensitive equipment of the CP-140 Aurora, the Arcturus was seen as an ideal platform for crew training duties (aka touch and goes), general maritime surface reconnaissance (detecting drug operations, smuggling of illegal immigrants, fisheries protection patrols, pollution monitoring, etc), search-and-rescue assistance, and Arctic sovereignty patrols.
		The CP-140A Arcturus is a variant of Canada's CP-140 Aurora maritime patrol aircraft.
		Basically, the CP-140A is a CP-140 but without the Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) gear in the CP-140 Aurora.

	Canada's Air Force, Aircraft: CP-140 Aurora
		The CP-140 Aurora is a Canadianized version of the U.S. Navy’s turboprop-powered Lockheed P-3 “Orion” long-range land-based maritime patrol aircraft, but with an enhanced ASW electronics suite that has more in common with that of the jet-engined S-3 “Viking” carrier-based ASW patrol aircraft also operated by the U.S. Navy.
		Auroras participated in OPERATION APOLLO in the Persian Gulf region from the fall of 2001 to the summer of 2003, conducting 499 operational sorties as part of Canada's participation in the campaign against terrorism.
		Designed originally for anti-submarine warfare, the Aurora remains capable of detecting the latest generation of stealthy submarines.

		History: The CP-140 Aurora is a unique development of the Orion which combines the P-3s airframe with the electronic systems of the US Navy S-3 Viking, while the CP-140A Arcturus is a down spec Aurora optimised specifically for training and fishery patrols.
		The CP-140A Arcturus is a stripped down development of the Aurora and has the twin roles of Aurora crew training (thus increasing the amount of actual patrol hours Auroras can fly, and increasing their service lives) and environmental, Arctic sovereignty and fishery patrols.
		In 1976 the Canadian Armed Forces ordered the Aurora to replace the CP-107 Argus.

		DND’s Aurora Incremental Modernization Project (AIMP) is intended to extend the life and usefulness of Canada’s dwindling fleet of Lockheed CP-140 Aurora maritime patrol aircraft.
		Maritime patrol has become very complex but, adding to that burden, DND plans to transform the Aurora into a ‘Strategic Reconnaissance Asset’– their way of saying that the CP-140s will also perform battlefield surveillance tasks.[1] Unfortunately to pay for this transmogrification Air Staff plans to trim the number of CP-140s and CP-140As.
		Obviously, the remaining Aurora are going to be extremely busy for the next two decades.

		Not only are the CP-140As structurally worn from pilot-training, it was also determined that their differences from the original Aurora airframes would make refurbishing the CP-140A as part of AIMP unacceptably expensive.
		The CP-140A Arcturus is essentially a CP-140 Aurora without the dedicated anti-submarine warfare equipment.
		Canada was able to purchase these non-standard Aurora look-alikes to fill the gaps in CF maritime patrol.
