I'm just curious and have a question for anyone in the S-3 community.
Since the Viking is being retired, what are the aircrews being pipelined to??
I was thinking Prowlers, but I hear they're not so easy to recover on the boat.
And on the topic of prowlers... Since the ALQ-99 is (as I've heard) the most advanced airborne ECM system in the world (which is why we haven't exported it), are there safeguards built into it from the cold war era to prevent anyone from reverse-engineering it and copying it in the event that a prowler goes down over enemy territory?
I'm just really curious...
