The P-3C Update IV antisubmarine warfare system presently under development is scheduled for fleet introduction in the mid-1990's. This ASW system represents a marked increase in both capability and complexity. The introduction of a new ASW system has, coincidentally, been paralleled by major improvements in the Soviet submarine force, changes in Soviet deployment patterns and proliferation of submarines among Third World navies. Lessons learned from the recent Persian Gulf War indicate an expanded antisurface warfare mission for maritime patrol aircraft combat aircrews. In order to meet the challenge of changing and expanded mission areas while realizing the full potential of a new avionics system a comprehensive training plan needs to be developed. A plan of training, coordinating all phases of aircrew instruction, should be under the supervision of a Fleet Introduction Team. Consideration should be given to implementation of computer based training, increased employment of simulators, changes in the mission area emphasis of the current aircrew qualifications and expanded training opportunities against diesel submarines.
