This modified P-3B (former Royal Australian Air Force A9-605 and US Navy BuNo 154605) received a so-called Dome modification. The Airborne Early Warning and Control radar on top of its fuselage is suited for the counter drug mission. The USCS is satisfied with the Dome that is also called the "Hi-tech Drug Hunter".
