Description
The P-2J was developed as the successor to the aging JMSDF P2V-7.
The main changes were a change from reciprocating engines to turboprop engines, a 1.3-meter longer fuselage than the P2V-7, and new onboard equipment.
The engine was changed from Wright R-3350 reciprocating engine to T64-IHI-10 turboprop engine and the auxiliary engine from Westinghouse J34 to NJE J3-IHI-7C engine.
The prototype successfully completed its first flight in July 1966, and the first mass-produced aircraft was delivered in September 1969.
The P-2J proposed here is a P-2J equipped with the FLIR system, which was studied as part of the P-2J modernization and upgrade program. The first prototype phase was not allowed to have the FLIR turret installed in the nose, so it was installed in the searchlight pod position on the right wing tip for testing.
The decision to introduce the P-3C led to the cancellation of the second prototype phase, but a practical test was conducted to install the FLIR turret on the remaining P-2J, and its performance and practicality were confirmed (during the practical test the FLIR turret was installed in the nose of the aircraft.
The P-2J was never equipped with the FLIR turret due to changes in the P-2J upgrade program.
