CBP’s P-3 Orion AEW Aircraft Flies Final Mission

US Politics15 days ago

Narcotics interdiction missions by a specialized fleet of P-3 Orion planes have come to an end for U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The aircraft's airborne early warning (AEW) variants recently concluded their final operational flight, marking the removal of a specific surveillance asset from the agency's active duty.

CBP was the sole operator of the P-3 Orion in this AEW configuration, which is distinguished by radar domes mounted on the aircraft's top. The agency employed these sensors as a primary tool to locate and track drug smugglers as part of its border security efforts.
