125-kilograms of heroin landed from the North Korean freighter Pong Su, which made a run for it and was only stopped after special forces fast-roped from a Navy helicopter.
Four ship’s officers including the politi- cal secretary faced trial but were acquitted. The prosecution argued that they must have known what was going on. It wasn’t argued that North Korea was involved and they of course admitted nothing.
“Australian Orions possess a very capable electronic support measures (ESM) suite, as does Poseidon, allowing them to monitor and classify other people’s radio signals.”
ThenForeignMinisterAlexanderDowner beingreplacedinserviceby15Poseidons,with RAAFOrionswereextensivelyupgraded
delivered a stern rebuke to North Korea’s ambassador to Australia.
Yes, Pyongyang has been officially rep- resented in Canberra, most recently from 2003-2008. By all reports, the North Korean envoysweren’texactlythelifeandsoulofthe Canberra diplomatic circuit.
Subsequently Pong Su was despatched to the deep courtesy of a pair of GBU-10 laser guided bombs from a F-111. The mission was directed by a RAAF Orion, which is a nice bit of symmetry, considering one of their successors, the P-8 is again keeping an eye on North Korean shipping.
Orions have served Australia well but are
the last scheduled to arrive in 2020. The last of the Orions will be phased out of service in 2018-19.Asafrontlinecapability,Orionsand Poseidons mostly operate far from the public gaze, except when rescuing distressed sailors intheSouthernOcean.
When the TV cameras get on board, they mostly seem to show crewmen and women with binoculars earnestly surveying the vast ocean, less so those at the work stations.
The real capability of these aircraft is in their very advanced sensors. In simplest terms Poseidon and Orion primary sensors are a multi-mode radar and electro-optical day night camera system.
and at peak were probably the most capable P-3s in service anywhere. Rumours have long persistedthatoneormorewerespeciallycon- figured for electronic surveillance, that is to listen in on other people’s communications.
Certainly Australian Orions possess a very capable electronic support measures (ESM) suite, as does Poseidon, allowing them to monitor and classify other people’s radio signals.
ESM isn’t something the ADF proclaims too loudly. This was once a very specialised capability but more and more RAAF plat- forms now have ESM, making them, in tab- loid terminology, spy planes.
