The Zeus Defense Industries P-21 Stormer is a light maritime patrol aircraft based on the Bombardier Global 5000 business-jet platform, aimed for service in several navies that do not need to employ larger maritime patrol aircraft, such as the P-8 Poseidon. Designed to provide better situational awareness over maritime territory and eventual maritime superiority, the P-21 Stormer provides some of the sophisticated surveillance, reconnaissance, armament and countermeasures that have been installed on a business-jet platform.
The P-21 Stormer incorporates the advanced ELTA ELM-2022 Maritime Patrol Radar to scan the seas, as well as an electro-optical sensor management system, the PAE-1023 ESM/ELINT system and a complete communications system that also takes the role for electronic warfare. The advanced multi-mission Command & Control System incorporates multi-purpose operator bays, a weapons management system that has its under-wing weapons (missiles, torpedoes, etc.), dispensable sensors (such as the sonobuoy) and SAR stores under control.
Although smaller than its larger equivalents in service within many navies throughout the world, the P-21 Stormer focuses on efficiency, high endurance, speed, range than most of its comparative aircraft. Though armed with lesser armaments than its larger counterparts, the P-21 Stormer still has adequate armaments, sensors and countermeasures that make it fit for maritime patrol and, to some extent, anti-submarine warfare. Equipped with the necessary and adequate equipment, the P-21 remains ready to keep the seas secure from above.
Variants
- P-21A Stormer: Standard MPA variant.
- P-21B: Reinforced for anti-submarine warfare. Features reinforced airframe and more hardpoints, at the expense of slightly slower speeds and lesser maneuverability.
