Maritime aviation

Maritime aviation involves the use of aircraft designed to operate over oceans, seas, and remote water areas. It includes patrol aircraft, search and rescue planes, maritime surveillance, and transportation missions. These aircraft are equipped to monitor maritime borders, detect illegal activities, support maritime security, and assist in rescue operations. They often work closely with ships and coastguards, providing quick response, reconnaissance, and communication support in challenging or inaccessible marine environments. Essentially, maritime aviation extends a nation's ability to observe, protect, and respond across vast maritime zones efficiently and effectively.
