Advantages

Integrated Maritime Sensing

SNC integrates advanced radars, EO/IR systems, signals intelligence and mission management tools that work together to detect and track activity across wide ocean areas, providing operators with high‑quality, multi‑source intelligence.

Actionable Situational Awareness

Our systems help crews interpret incoming data, identify patterns and assess threats quickly, enabling faster decision cycles and more effective responses in rapidly changing maritime environments.

Mission System Optimization for Maritime Operations

SNC designs and modernizes aircraft and mission systems specifically for maritime patrol, ensuring reliable performance, extended on‑station endurance and optimized sensor configurations tailored to sea‑based missions.

Persistent Coverage and Operational Reach

With enhanced range, endurance and communications capabilities, SNC enables surveillance missions that span remote coastlines, international waters and high‑activity maritime corridors.

Global Sustainment and Support

We maintain high mission‑capable rates through worldwide depot services, upgrades, logistics support and field maintenance, keeping surveillance platforms ready wherever they are deployed.

Programs

CBP DHC-8 Maritime Patrol Aircraft

SNC’s modernization and sustainment of the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) DHC‑8 fleet strengthens coastal and open‑water surveillance through upgraded mission systems, advanced radar and EO/IR sensing, and aircraft configurations optimized for maritime patrol. These enhancements support early detection and tracking of suspicious vessels, improve coordination with maritime units through secure communications and enable long‑duration monitoring along high‑activity sea corridors. By delivering reliable, mission‑ready ISR performance tailored to maritime conditions, SNC’s integrated systems empower CBP operators with actionable situational awareness to protect U.S. coastlines and respond rapidly to evolving maritime activity.
