	CP-140A Arcturus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The CP-140A Arcturus is a variant of Canada's CP-140 Aurora maritime patrol aircraft.
		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.
		All three aircraft are based at 14 Wing, one of which is currently being used for training with the school on base CFB Greenwood, Nova Scotia.

		Three CP-140A Arcturus Aircraft equip the maritime patrol squadrons at 14 Wing Greenwood.
		The Arcturus is a version of the CP-140 Aurora without the electronics for anti-submarine warfare.
		The Arcturus Aircraft were procured in 1991 to augment the CP-140 Aurora fleet in supporting DND and other government departments in marine surface surveillance, search and rescue, drug interdiction, northern patrols and pilot training.

		How-ever, these aircraft are quickly becoming obsolete and are on the verge of becoming inef-fective as a result of the lack of political will to adequately fund essential defence pro-grams.
		Canadians should understand the role our nation's maritime surveillance aircraft play in today's changing political and economic cli-mate and be aware that Auroras provide one of the most cost- effective means of achieving a variety of national objectives.
		Under an extension of the Aurora modernization program, the Arcturus would receive many of the same improvements as the Aurora, except for the subsurface surveillance equip-ment.

		However, these aircraft are quickly obsolescing and are on the verge of becoming ineffective as a result of the lack of political will to adequately fund essential defence programs.
		A new system is required with at least equal or greater capability for refining the location of submarines detected by other subsurface sensors.
		Under an extension of the Aurora modernization program, the Arcturus would receive many of the same improvements as the Aurora, except for the subsurface surveillance equipment.

		There are also official role codes which have never been applied as well as unofficial codes/ suffixes which have (eg: the Hercules used for in-flight refuelling have been unofficially referred to as KCC-130H and CC-130H(T).
		A suffix letter indicates either a major modification (eg: CH-124A) or model change (eg: CH-113A — the suffixed CP-140A Arcturus is an anomoly which also received a new name).
		There has been an attempt to bring suffixes in line with US practices (eg: single/ two-seat CF-18s were designated CF-188A/D not CF-188A/B).
