Maritime Patrol Aviation Vol. 3 #3 (1995)
 
Since its beginnings in 1912, maritime patrol aviation has recognized the importance of long-range, persistent, and armed intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance in support of operations afloat and ashore. Throughout its history, it has demonstrated the flexibility to respond to changing threats, environments, and missions. The need for increased range and payload to counter submarine and surface threats would dictate aircraft operational requirements as early as 1917. As maritime patrol transitioned from flying boats to land-based aircraft, both its mission set and areas of operation expanded, requiring further developments to accommodate advanced sensor and weapons systems. Tomorrow’s squadrons will possess capabilities far beyond the imaginations of the early pioneers, but the mission will remain essentially the same—to quench the battle force commander’s increasing demand for over-the-horizon situational awareness.
