Apologies for getting ASW and ASuW mixed up - d'oh!
But I stand by my post on something like the Pred B "GUARDIAN" would make a good surface search MPA and LRSAR asset - as it already does for the US Coastguard and Border Protection Agency.
I also am dubious of your bandwidth argument for sonobuoys - full motion video is far more data hungry than acoustic waveforms, even at high sampling rates.
Point accepted on my scr3w up on ASW vs ASuW though.
