In the backward 1950s, it is bright that Russia aims to use its submarines adjoin the navies of NATO and Lockheed P2V-6 and P2V-7Neptune Americans do not accommodated time requirements Anti -submarine. In 1956, associates of the NATO Council that they charge acquisition a assay aircraft on the aerial seas and anti-submarine continued range. The affairs Breguet Br 1150 Atlantic (Rolls-Royce Tyne turboprop) is called amid 20 projects in 1959. In 1967, Dassault-Aviation, which incorporates Breguet inherits two advancing programs of the company, the Atlantic and the Jaguar.
The Breguet Br 1150 Atlantic has the acumen of actuality the alone amphibian convoying aircraft in the apple accurately advised for its mission and not acquired from a civilian bartering aircraft. Aboriginal operation of European cooperation on this blazon of aircraft (Fokker, Dornier, SABCA Rolls-Royce, MTU, etc..), The affairs has a assertive character for navies in anti-submarine . The Breguet aggregation is appointed as prime contractor's abstruse equipment. On October 2, 1961, the European Society for architecture of the aircraft Breguet Atlantic (SECBAT) is created. Four prototypes are made. The aboriginal fly to Toulouse, October 21, 1961, at the easily of Bernard Witt with Rene and Romeo Périneau Zinzoni.
The official adjustment of the aboriginal chapter is accomplished June 6, 1963: 20 aircraft for France, after added to 40 aircraft and 20 for the Deutsche Marine. The aboriginal two assembly aircraft are delivered, the No. 1 in France, Germany 2 at 10 December 1965 on the BAN-Nimes Garons. For the aboriginal forty aircraft, France receives the consecutive numbers of odd and alike numbers in Germany. The aftermost of 60 aircraft was delivered to the end of 1968 back the Royal Dutch Fleet absitively to access nine. The French Fleet already he sells four, the added bristles appear from a added alternation launched in January 1972. On October 25, 1968, the Marina Militare decides to shop for the assemblage and about-face joins the European bunch with Aeritalia and Alfa Romeo. The assembly is active for 18 copies, added four to alter those awash by France to Holland. In 1976, the French Fleet sells three of its aircraft to Pakistan. For their part, the United States, which had originally helped body the 1150 Atlantic Br, focus on the development of Lockheed P-3 Orion that best apparel their needs for amphibian convoying longest ambit (10,371 km). The antagonism begins [1].
In the mid-1970s, and to accommodated the alteration blackmail of beyond and beyond submarines and apparent ships, the French Fleet absitively to agency a fresh bearing of Atlantic. ATL2 Two prototypes are fabricated from two of the aboriginal Atlantic Alternation (No. 42 and 69). The aboriginal makes its aboriginal flight at Toulouse - Blagnac May 8, 1981 at the easily of Jacques Jesberger, the analysis architect Jean-Pierre Bussenot and analysis architect Pierre Harquin. In June 1982, the French Defence Ministry appear the official barrage of the assembly of ATL2 at French equipment. The market's industrialization ATL2 is notified in May 1984. The ATL2 is produced, for the cell, by a European bunch (Dornier and MBB for the FRG, Dassault and Aerospatiale of France, Italy and Aeritalia for SABCA-SONACA for Belgium). After the operational career of the Breguet Br 1150 Atlantic, the Royal Fleet acquired eight Orion Deutsche Marine redeems him duke and the Marina Militare is the same, for affidavit of interoperability and NATO because they are accessible to occasion.
In 2007, the French fleet ATL2 underwent a makeover including accepting a fresh avionics accessories and added weapons systems. The fresh avionics will acquiesce the assemblage to accede with ICAO standards to facilitate their affiliation into accepted air traffic. The aboriginal accessory is afflicted and the corpuscle cardinal 12. After a armpit change of added than a year on the website of the Directorate of Flight Analysis Dassault Aviation in Istres, he fabricated his aboriginal flight with the fresh avionics apartment performed by Thales, June 18, 2009 at the easily of Étienne Faurdessus, Philip Narbey Dassault Aviation and Patrick Chabanis (MECBO) CSIO Nimes.
Since July 2008, Atlantic 2 accustomed an added accommodation of battery [2], which allows them to accompany in accoutrements bead four bombs and laser-guided GBU-12 Paveway II. However they do not accept a laser appellation pod which requires them to be accurate by addition aircraft or a TACP (forward air controller) on the arena illuminates its target. Nevertheless, the catechism of replacing ATL2 the Fleet in 2015-2020 arose decidedly acute, the Senate in May 2008 pointing "a able coercion on the amphibian aegis [3]. Currently, it is cryptic whether the Fleet will about-face to the Boeing P-8 Poseidon, or HALE UAV MALE or the atomic able aircraft assay or surveillance Dassault Falcon 900MPA .
