Description
English: Aboard USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63) Dec. 8, 2003 -- Aviation maintenance personnel work on a S-3B Viking assigned to the Fighting Redtails of Sea Control Squadron 21 (VS-21) aboard USS Kitty Hawk (CV 63). The mission of the S-3B is defined as "Sea Control," which involves searching, tracking, and coordinating attacks on surface contacts that may threaten the strike group or allied forces. The Viking plays a critical surveillance, reconnaissance and targeting role in maintaining the sea control picture for naval and joint forces with its APS-137 Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR), ALR-67 Electronic Surveillance Measures (ESM) system and Harpoon missile capability. In the anti-surface mode, the ISAR can identify hostile surface combatants from over the horizon. U. S. Navy photo By Photographer’s Mate 3rd Class Jason R. Williams. (RELEASED)
