Jet Seaplane patrol bomber urgently required
to meet Multi-Mission Maritime Aircraft
Requirements for the 21st Century




                              2004
  By the 1st Tactical Studies Group (Airborne) dynmicpara@aol.com
Earth is still a very Large Place: 100% covered by air and 75%
by water, working around this by land based runway-to-land
based runway aircraft results in incomplete coverage;
satellites and UAVs cannot perform mission of on-scene
investigation, inspection and attack

               Sub-national terror groups exploit gaps in
               coverage to smuggle drugs, and
               potentially WMDs


Nation-State militaries exploit gaps to set conditions
(sea mines, commandos, paratroopers inserted etc.) for
bolt-out-of-the-blue attacks that become fait accompli
Land-Based MMA aircraft cannot cover the distances
required and cannot land on water to thwart enemy actions,
waters may be mined and saturated with enemy fighters and
ASMs for aircraft carriers to enter; Red China uses seaplanes

      and WIG craft to surge troops
      ashore
               ?
U.S. Navy has the world’s most successful Seaplane patrol
bomber tradition using the brilliant design PBY Catalina
amphibian: 25% of all ships sunk in WWII were by patrol
bombers; thousands of downed airmen, stranded sailors
from sunk ships saved: in a major nation-state war these
things are needed AGAIN

U.S. Navy Seaplane Patrol Bombers were able to operate
anywhere: on land or sea or air




                             Seaplane Patrol Bombers can
                             land on runways using their
                             wheeled landing gear




U.S. Navy bought 4,000 PBY Seaplane Patrol Bombers, the
largest aircraft purchase its ever made: their contributions
to victory cannot be over-estimated
U.S. Navy Seaplane Patrol Bombers could operate
covertly at sea using a seaplane tender ship to refuel,
rearm and repair
U.S. Navy Seaplane Patrol Bombers as amphibians
                              U.S. Navy Seaplane
                              Patrol Bombers can swim
                              selves to shores and any
                              beach becomes a
                              resupply and/or troop
                              pick-up point



Air/Ground interface is
possible by the wheeled
landing gear which can
open in the water after
landing using the boat
hull shape
Seaplane Patrol Bombers
Patrol & Attack                           have extended range via
                                          multiple refuel options plus
                                          large onboard fuel capacity
                                          to search and find the enemy
                                          on or below the sea and on
                                          land…PBYs found the
                                          Japanese fleet to win the
                                          battle of Midway




Seaplane Patrol Bombers carry large
bomb, torpedo, depth charge loads
to sink capital ships. Multiple machine
guns to strafe and suppress smaller
targets, the German Battleship
Bismark was found by a PBY
Sea Control
Heavily armed Seaplane Patrol
Bombers have lots of internal
space to carry rubber boats
for boarding parties to check out
suspicious small vessels like
sampans in WWII, Korea and
Vietnam (PBM-5 Marlins), both
brown water and blue water maritime
interdiction….littoral sea control
requires seaplanes…

Due to early seaplane technology
PBYs had only 150 mph speeds
(still faster than today’s helicopters),
so they performed their missions
under the dark of night, painting
their PBYs into “Black Cats” to be
invisible before we had AC-130
gunships, F-117 and B-2 stealth
bombers….
Search & Rescue




                                        Our men in the water cannot
                                        wait for rescue; most will
                                        die of exposure in just
                                        a few hours especially in the
                                        Atlantic: Seaplanes must
                                        immediately rescue them after
                                        being spotted by crewmen




 Heavily armed Seaplanes can suppress
 enemy fires to effect pick-up
Special Operations
 Seaplane Patrol Bombers
 quickly and covertly insert
 and extract small recon
 and raiding forces flying
 under enemy radar using
 the curvature of the earth
 Seaplanes can land deep
 into inland waterways to
 insert SEALs; if aircraft   PBYs extracted 200 Australian Raiders from
                             the Sepik river in WWII
 have to pop-up to jump
 altitude enemy could detect
 them. If rubber boat
 malfunctions we need way to
 land and recover SEALs
Resupply
Seaplane Patrol Bombers
shuttled supplies to coastal
watchers all over the Pacific.
What would happen if our
Navy’s C-2 Greyhound COD
aircraft were to be shot down?
Or if sea supply ships were sunk
or unavailable? Seaplanes would
be able to land alongside our carriers
and bring aboard vital supplies.

The U.S. Perfects the Seaplane Patrol Bomber
as a 600 mph jet: P-6M SeaMaster in 1960
Not only can jet P-6Ms do all the prior
patrol, attack, search, rescue, special
transport, ASW, sea control missions
they now have high jet subsonic
speeds to:
* Bomb inland targets with nuclear or
conventional weapons
* Lay sea mines in enemy waters
* Destroy enemy ships in daylight
What does the
                                                  U.S. Navy do?




              It cancels the P-6M Seamaster!
It throws away 60 years of seaplane technology just as it was fully
maturing! How many souls have died because we couldn’t rescue them?
How many in Vietnam? Fortunately, we haven’t had a massive nation-
state global world war on the scale of WWII with thousands of men all
over the oceans in harm’s way and often in peril…in the future we will

What does the Soviet/Russian Navy do?
They have an entire sub-branch of their armed forces dedicated to “Long
Range Aviation” to sink the U.S. Navy with seaplanes and patrol plane
bombers, all very fast and very LETHAL with anti-ship and cruise
missiles. With the fall of the Soviet Union and both of us facing a common
Islamofascist threat why don’t we use their good ideas?

The Past is Prologue: What must the cash-strapped
U.S. Navy do?
  Use the retirement of our P-3 converted civilian airliner
  fleet to gain the jet patrol seaplane bomber capabilities
  we need through the MMA program; reinvigorate seaplane
  technology to help decongest the nation’s airports--its
  better to go from strong military to civilian variants than
  vice-a-versa, the sleek Russian A-40 jet seaplane is
  perfect to perform the MMA mission

Precision Strike Munitions reach out to hit enemies hiding
by C3D2 in difficult terrain and intermingled with civilians
Air-to-Air refueling
Who says the A-40 MMA has to land? Hook-up with a
tanker and have a second on-board “Gold” flight crew take
over for the “Blue” team. Twice the patrol range per A-40
Special Operations

Military Free Fall (MFF) parachuting in SEALs or Army
Green Berets as A-40 MMA appears to be a civilian airliner.

A-40 MMA flies under radar under earth’s curvature and
inserts/extracts SEAL boat teams or combat swimmers
Enhanced Rescues
Under most circumstances the A-40’s brilliant Beriev design would enable it to
land on the water to immediately get survivors out of the water. But..if for some
reason the A-40 MMA cannot land, then a Fulton Surface-To-Air II “Skyhook” kit
could be dropped with perhaps a combat rescue swimmer to help employ its
tethered balloon for the A-40 MMA to fly overhead and snatch and reel-in up to
6 people at a time.




                               Navy did SkyHook I
                               first, then USAF used
                               it on MC-130 Combat

  R3Y Tradewind seaplane                 but still needs a ship
  transport “Flying LST”:
  another seaplane the Navy
  gave up on




 A 4-engined sea transport MMA variant with a nose that
 opens could direct deliver mini-subs to rescue downed fleet
 submarines like the Kursk before men asphyxiate; SEAL
 mini-subs can do special operations after MMA insertion
Air-Mech 3D Amphibious Assaults
With some more fuselage modifications and a boat hull shape to sit high enough in the
water, the A-40 MMA could land in water and open its nose for M113A4 Amphigavins to
splash into the water or onto the beach Why have thousands of marines or spec ops
troops sitting for 6 months at a time in vulnerable surface amphibious ships if we can fly
them to the scene via a 4-engined A40 MMA seaplane derivative transport? Thousands of
troops were killed in WWII when their transport ships were sunk by Japanese/German
submarines and aircraft attacks. A fact rarely advertised by military historians.




                                     +
                                  ARIS SPA of Italy makes a waterjet kit that converts the
                                  world’s greatest light tracked armored fighting
                                  vehicle--the 10.5 ton M113 Gavin from a lake/river
                                  swimmer to anocean-going amphibian that is still air-
                                  transportable by helicopters and fixed-wing transports
Supersonic bothers civilians? Does it the fish?
Let’s face it, civil-military aviation is going backwards in
2004. We are throwing in electronic gadgets and pinching
pennies with anemic physical flight designs as we try to
physically not be there with UAVs. Do men want to fly in the
21st century of pretend behind a computer screen? The
Concorde SST couldn’t fly over land so we retired it. Fine,
why not make a supersonic seaplane like Beriev proposes?

                                   The sky is the limit only
                                   if you reach for the sky----
                                   in-person---not from a desk.
                                   Understanding what works in
                                   water and sky in God’s
                                   creation is the courageous
                                   and right thing to do. On
                                   earth, Jesus Christ was a
                                   carpenter.

A40 Patrol Seaplane for U.S. Navy MMA

  • 1. Jet Seaplane patrol bomber urgently required to meet Multi-Mission Maritime Aircraft Requirements for the 21st Century 2004 By the 1st Tactical Studies Group (Airborne) dynmicpara@aol.com
  • 2. Earth is still a very Large Place: 100% covered by air and 75% by water, working around this by land based runway-to-land based runway aircraft results in incomplete coverage; satellites and UAVs cannot perform mission of on-scene investigation, inspection and attack Sub-national terror groups exploit gaps in coverage to smuggle drugs, and potentially WMDs Nation-State militaries exploit gaps to set conditions (sea mines, commandos, paratroopers inserted etc.) for bolt-out-of-the-blue attacks that become fait accompli
  • 3. Land-Based MMA aircraft cannot cover the distances required and cannot land on water to thwart enemy actions, waters may be mined and saturated with enemy fighters and ASMs for aircraft carriers to enter; Red China uses seaplanes and WIG craft to surge troops ashore ?
  • 4. U.S. Navy has the world’s most successful Seaplane patrol bomber tradition using the brilliant design PBY Catalina amphibian: 25% of all ships sunk in WWII were by patrol bombers; thousands of downed airmen, stranded sailors from sunk ships saved: in a major nation-state war these things are needed AGAIN
  • 5. VP-71 VP-24 VP-34 VP-12 Type B VP-23 VP-12 VP-33 VP-XX VP-44
  • 6. U.S. Navy Seaplane Patrol Bombers were able to operate anywhere: on land or sea or air Seaplane Patrol Bombers can land on runways using their wheeled landing gear U.S. Navy bought 4,000 PBY Seaplane Patrol Bombers, the largest aircraft purchase its ever made: their contributions to victory cannot be over-estimated
  • 7. U.S. Navy Seaplane Patrol Bombers could operate covertly at sea using a seaplane tender ship to refuel, rearm and repair
  • 8. U.S. Navy Seaplane Patrol Bombers as amphibians U.S. Navy Seaplane Patrol Bombers can swim selves to shores and any beach becomes a resupply and/or troop pick-up point Air/Ground interface is possible by the wheeled landing gear which can open in the water after landing using the boat hull shape
  • 9. Seaplane Patrol Bombers Patrol & Attack have extended range via multiple refuel options plus large onboard fuel capacity to search and find the enemy on or below the sea and on land…PBYs found the Japanese fleet to win the battle of Midway Seaplane Patrol Bombers carry large bomb, torpedo, depth charge loads to sink capital ships. Multiple machine guns to strafe and suppress smaller targets, the German Battleship Bismark was found by a PBY
  • 10. Sea Control Heavily armed Seaplane Patrol Bombers have lots of internal space to carry rubber boats for boarding parties to check out suspicious small vessels like sampans in WWII, Korea and Vietnam (PBM-5 Marlins), both brown water and blue water maritime interdiction….littoral sea control requires seaplanes… Due to early seaplane technology PBYs had only 150 mph speeds (still faster than today’s helicopters), so they performed their missions under the dark of night, painting their PBYs into “Black Cats” to be invisible before we had AC-130 gunships, F-117 and B-2 stealth bombers….
  • 11. Search & Rescue Our men in the water cannot wait for rescue; most will die of exposure in just a few hours especially in the Atlantic: Seaplanes must immediately rescue them after being spotted by crewmen Heavily armed Seaplanes can suppress enemy fires to effect pick-up
  • 12. Special Operations Seaplane Patrol Bombers quickly and covertly insert and extract small recon and raiding forces flying under enemy radar using the curvature of the earth Seaplanes can land deep into inland waterways to insert SEALs; if aircraft PBYs extracted 200 Australian Raiders from the Sepik river in WWII have to pop-up to jump altitude enemy could detect them. If rubber boat malfunctions we need way to land and recover SEALs
  • 13. Resupply Seaplane Patrol Bombers shuttled supplies to coastal watchers all over the Pacific. What would happen if our Navy’s C-2 Greyhound COD aircraft were to be shot down? Or if sea supply ships were sunk or unavailable? Seaplanes would be able to land alongside our carriers and bring aboard vital supplies.

Anti-Submarine Warfare Seaplane Patrol Bombers sank 50% of the German U-Boats destroyed in the Allied merchant ships Atlantic, saving England and --gross tons sunk...................................................23,351,000 with it the war. After the war, --numbers sunk.......................................................2,775 --sunk in convoy...................................................28% these lessons were not --sunk by U-boats...................................................52.4% lost on the Japanese who lost German submarines*: the war in great measure by our --committed to action............................................1,175 seaplane patrol bombers and --lost to enemy action...............................................781 submarines starving out their --sunk by U.S. forces.............................................191 --sunk by surface escorts.........................................245 forward deployed troops of --sunk by land-based aircraft alone......................225 --sunk by hunter-killer groups...................................202 ship-delivered supplies. Their Shin Meiwa 4-engine turboprop *includes shaved-kill crediting ASW and SAR seaplanes are Source: “Between Two Stools: Very Long-Range Aircraft in Sea Control” by Dr. Roger A. Beaumont, Air Chronicles Sep-Oct 1981 revolutionary with a jet engine www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil/airchronicles/aureview/1981/sep- blowing hot gas over their wings oct/beaumont.htm for BLC extra lift: they take-off and land at just 55 mph!
  • 15. The U.S. Perfects the Seaplane Patrol Bomber as a 600 mph jet: P-6M SeaMaster in 1960
  • 16. Not only can jet P-6Ms do all the prior patrol, attack, search, rescue, special transport, ASW, sea control missions they now have high jet subsonic speeds to: * Bomb inland targets with nuclear or conventional weapons * Lay sea mines in enemy waters * Destroy enemy ships in daylight
  • 17. What does the U.S. Navy do? It cancels the P-6M Seamaster! It throws away 60 years of seaplane technology just as it was fully maturing! How many souls have died because we couldn’t rescue them? How many in Vietnam? Fortunately, we haven’t had a massive nation- state global world war on the scale of WWII with thousands of men all over the oceans in harm’s way and often in peril…in the future we will
  • 18. VP-71 VP-24 VP-34 VP-12 Type B VP-23 VP-12 VP-33 VP-XX VP-44
  • 19. What does the Soviet/Russian Navy do? They have an entire sub-branch of their armed forces dedicated to “Long Range Aviation” to sink the U.S. Navy with seaplanes and patrol plane bombers, all very fast and very LETHAL with anti-ship and cruise missiles. With the fall of the Soviet Union and both of us facing a common Islamofascist threat why don’t we use their good ideas? Tu-160 Blackjack Tu-22 Backfire Be-12 Mail Tu-95
  • 20. The Past is Prologue: What must the cash-strapped U.S. Navy do? Use the retirement of our P-3 converted civilian airliner fleet to gain the jet patrol seaplane bomber capabilities we need through the MMA program; reinvigorate seaplane technology to help decongest the nation’s airports--its better to go from strong military to civilian variants than vice-a-versa, the sleek Russian A-40 jet seaplane is perfect to perform the MMA mission = Russian A-40 American P-6M
  • 21. Russian A-40 jet seaplane is: FAST: 472 mph REACH: 3,417 miles DEADLY: 14,329 pounds of bombs, torpedoes, rockets, missiles, mines, gunpods, SEAL teams FLEXIBLE: operates from land, sea; can be air- refueled or from a single covert ship at sea
  • 22. New U.S. technologies to add to A-40 MMA jet seaplane’s global reach FLIR and image intensifier 360 degree surveillance, laser target designators Precision Strike Munitions reach out to hit enemies hiding by C3D2 in difficult terrain and intermingled with civilians
  • 23. Air-to-Air refueling Who says the A-40 MMA has to land? Hook-up with a tanker and have a second on-board “Gold” flight crew take over for the “Blue” team. Twice the patrol range per A-40
  • 24. Special Operations Military Free Fall (MFF) parachuting in SEALs or Army Green Berets as A-40 MMA appears to be a civilian airliner. A-40 MMA flies under radar under earth’s curvature and inserts/extracts SEAL boat teams or combat swimmers
  • 25. Enhanced Rescues Under most circumstances the A-40’s brilliant Beriev design would enable it to land on the water to immediately get survivors out of the water. But..if for some reason the A-40 MMA cannot land, then a Fulton Surface-To-Air II “Skyhook” kit could be dropped with perhaps a combat rescue swimmer to help employ its tethered balloon for the A-40 MMA to fly overhead and snatch and reel-in up to 6 people at a time. Navy did SkyHook I first, then USAF used it on MC-130 Combat Talon Is, SkyHook II not fielded yet
  • 26. Mini-Submarine Rescue/Covert Operations X DSRV can fly in a C-5 R3Y Tradewind seaplane but still needs a ship transport “Flying LST”: another seaplane the Navy gave up on A 4-engined sea transport MMA variant with a nose that opens could direct deliver mini-subs to rescue downed fleet submarines like the Kursk before men asphyxiate; SEAL mini-subs can do special operations after MMA insertion
  • 27. Air-Mech 3D Amphibious Assaults With some more fuselage modifications and a boat hull shape to sit high enough in the water, the A-40 MMA could land in water and open its nose for M113A4 Amphigavins to splash into the water or onto the beach Why have thousands of marines or spec ops troops sitting for 6 months at a time in vulnerable surface amphibious ships if we can fly them to the scene via a 4-engined A40 MMA seaplane derivative transport? Thousands of troops were killed in WWII when their transport ships were sunk by Japanese/German submarines and aircraft attacks. A fact rarely advertised by military historians. + ARIS SPA of Italy makes a waterjet kit that converts the world’s greatest light tracked armored fighting vehicle--the 10.5 ton M113 Gavin from a lake/river swimmer to anocean-going amphibian that is still air- transportable by helicopters and fixed-wing transports
  • 28. Supersonic bothers civilians? Does it the fish? Let’s face it, civil-military aviation is going backwards in 2004. We are throwing in electronic gadgets and pinching pennies with anemic physical flight designs as we try to physically not be there with UAVs. Do men want to fly in the 21st century of pretend behind a computer screen? The Concorde SST couldn’t fly over land so we retired it. Fine, why not make a supersonic seaplane like Beriev proposes? The sky is the limit only if you reach for the sky---- in-person---not from a desk. Understanding what works in water and sky in God’s creation is the courageous and right thing to do. On earth, Jesus Christ was a carpenter.
  • 29. Make History: Advance Naval Warfare and rescue capabilities with A-40 MMA
