ES-3A Shadow
SUPER DECALS SHEET
The
ES-3A Shadow has been derived directly from the famous twin-engines
anti-submarine Lockheed S-3 Viking. It was designed as a carrier-based,
subsonic, all-weather, long-range, electronic reconnaissance aircraft with the
specific purpose to replace the aging EA-3B Skywarrior starting from the
beginning of '90s. Basically the ES-3A was developed on modified S-3A where an
extensive set of electronic and modern sensors and communication tools replaced
the submarine detection and maritime surveillance equipment. The new operating
configuration has not changed the flight performance of Lockheed airframe. The
ES-3A has in fact a good flight range and it is very reliable. Such features are
very appreciate for its new mission profile to support the U.S. Navy fleet in
the tactical communications of the various units of the battle group.
