	Surveillance aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Surveillance aircraft are military aircraft used for monitoring enemy activity, usually carrying no armament.
		Another category of surveillance aircraft that has been in vogue since World War II is the maritime patrol aircraft.
		Such aircraft include the Avro Shackleton, the Hawker-Siddeley Nimrod, the Breguet Atlantique, the Tupolev Tu-95, and from Lockheed, the Neptune and later the Orion.

	Surveillance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Surveillance may be covert (without their knowledge) or overt (perhaps with frequent reminders such as "we are watching over you").
		Clinical Surveillance is the monitoring of events (including, for example, the occurances of infectious diseases or chronic diseases) with a significant impact on public health.
		Equiveillance is the balance between surveillance and sousveillance, and has been presented as being necessary to the admissibility of surveillance data in court.

	Order 7610.4, Special Military Operations
		When the suspect aircraft is at a low altitude where communications between the surveillance aircraft and the control facility may be questionable, a higher altitude may be assigned with a greater distance in-trail provided for the surveillance aircraft.
		Surveillance aircraft must be in radar contact at all times.
		However, when the pilot of the surveillance aircraft has the suspect aircraft in visual or radar contact, the mission may continue without ATC radar contact of the suspect aircraft.

	Order 7610.4, Special Military Operations
		When the suspect aircraft is in international airspace, ATC will control the departure phase of the mission and, when clear of IFR traffic, release control of the surveillance aircraft to the appropriate ADCF.
		When the surveillance aircraft establishes contact with the suspect aircraft, the pilot will notify ATC of the initial course to be flown to accomplish the surveillance mission.
		The course to be flown by surveillance aircraft is dictated by the course being flown by the suspect aircraft.

	Multi-Sensor Command and Control Aircraft (MC2A)
		The concept behind MC2A is to provide the military with an aircraft capable of serving as an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) platform fully interoperable with other aircraft and unmanned systems, such as the E-2C Hawkeye, Global Hawk, and Fire Scout, which perform similar missions.
		The next generation, manned reconnaissance aircraft whould be based on the same type airframe that the Air Force chooses for its next tanker aircraft--likely the B-767 aircraft.
		The study for concepts, numbers of aircraft, and the design and modification of the new aircraft should begin no later than calendar year 2004, with the first funding provided in the President's fiscal year 2004 budget request.

	washingtonpost.com: 'With Circumspection,' U.S. Planes to Resume Spy Flights Off N. Korea
		Although some officials said no surveillance flights had been scheduled in the 10 days since March 2, other sources said U.S. officials had wanted more frequent flights to monitor any North Korean moves to test-launch missiles but had held back during the deliberations.
		U.S. military aircraft have routinely monitored North Korea for decades, but flights with special surveillance equipment were stepped up as tensions grew over North Korea's nuclear program.
		Monitoring could be done by ships accompanying the USS Carl Vinson, an aircraft carrier due to arrive in South Korean waters this week to replace the Kitty Hawk, which has gone to the Persian Gulf.

	[4.0] ASTOR & The Future Of Battlefield Surveillance
		Currently battlefield surveillance, airborne early warning (AEW), jamming, and SIGINT missions are generally performed by different aircraft types, but now there is a push towards generalized EW platforms that combine some of the functions, or can be reconfigured for different EW missions.
		The EC-37 concept envisions an aircraft with accommodations for 12 to 15 battle staff and EW operators, with payloads stowed in blisters or attached to underwing pylons.
		The aircraft is less than half the size of a Gulfstream V, and is normally sold as an eight to twelve seat executive jet.
