O Lockheed CP-140 Aurora is a maritime patrol aircraft operated by the Royal Canadian Air Force. The aircraft is based on the Lockheed P-3 Orion airframe, but mounts the electronics suite of the S-3 Viking. “Aurora” refers to the Roman goddess of dawn who flies across the sky each morning ahead of the sun. Aurora also refers to the Aurora Borealis, the “northern lights”, that are prominent over northern Canada and the Arctic Ocean. The CP-140A Arcturus was a related variant used primarily for pilot training and coastal surface patrol missions.

O Lockheed CP-140 Aurora is a maritime patrol aircraft developed by Lockheed Martin for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). The aircraft is based on the Lockheed P-3 Orion airframe, but mounts the electronics suite of the Lockheed S-3 Viking. The CP-140 Aurora is the only strategic maritime surveillance aircraft in service with the RCAF, conducting long range missions over land, water and littoral areas. The aircraft’s sensors are primarily intended for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) work but are also capable of maritime surveillance, counter-drug and search-and-rescue missions.
O CP-140 Aurora entered service in 1980 and replaced the Canadair CL-28. The aircraft is named after the Roman goddess of dawn and the northern lights that are prominent over northern Canada and the Arctic Ocean. The RCAF operates 18 CP-140 Aurora aircraft, which have undergone several modernization and upgrade programs to extend their operational life and enhance their capabilities.
