Stick a Nimrod up nice an high and use the technology
And do what, drop sonobuoys, torpedoes or liferafts on them?

Pending the purchase of JASSM and a modification for a suitable targeting system, I am not sure what the Nimrod could do, and it wouldn´t answer the case where guns/rockets are needed rather than bombs.

If that type of platform were the solution I am sure the USAF have B-52s on station we could use.
