The Navy didn't bite on this idea either, and it never got to the demonstration stage. A proposal for an airborne early warning (AEW) version of the Viking was another non-starter. However, several "special mission" modifications of the S-3B were implemented as "proof of concept" projects, with these machines including: The "Outlaw Viking" S-3B featured the "Over-the-horizon Airborne Sensor Information System III (OASIS III)", derived from a system developed for the P-3C Orion. OASIS III integrated all sensor inputs with Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite location system and datalinks to give a coherent picture of the battle area for force commanders, as well as assist in over-the-horizon targeting for other weapons platforms. The Outlaw Viking looked much like a normal S-3B externally except for the addition of satellite communications and GPS antennas. The TACCO's station was modified to support the new OASIS III gear. The Outlaw Viking was returned to normal S-3B specification in 1998. The "Gray Wolf Viking" carried a Norden AN/APG-76 radar in a pod in an underwing pylon. The AN/APG-76 was designed for the "Phantom 2000" upgrade for Israeli Air Force McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom fighters, which never went beyond the demonstration phase. The AN/APG-76 was crammed into a Viking cargo pod with a Phantom nose cone tacked on to the front; it provided high-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images with moving target indicator (MTI) overlays, picking out targets in the images that were moving above some speed threshold. The SAR-MTI radar was integrated with an INS with GPS backup to give the precise locations of targets, with the data relayed to other platforms over JTIDS. The Gray Wolf Viking also carried a long-range "Tactical Digital Camera System (TADCS)" and a laser rangefinder. The Gray Wolf Viking was referred to as the "Sea-based Surveillance, Targeting, & Attack Radar System (SeaSTARS)", in imitation of the Army-Air Force Joint-STARS battlefield surveillance platform, based on the Boeing 707 airliner. Other one-off Vikings were the "Beartrap Vikings", which were a few S-3Bs with minor modifications used for classified exercises in the mid-1990s; the "Orca Viking", a testbed for advanced avionics including a SAR pod and laser rangefinder; the mysterious secret "Alladin Vikings", which were used over Bosnia and may have dropped ground sensors; and a proposed "Calypso Viking" to operate in the anti-smuggling role. S-3Bs were flown to evaluate new SIGINT gear and a digital MAD (DMAD) system for evaluation. A Viking also test-fired the AIM-9L Sidewinder air-to-air missile, though the ultimate decision was that such a self-defense capability was not needed. The idea of using a Viking to carry the AGM-88 High-Speed Anti-Radar Missile (HARM) was studied, but judged impractical. * Although the US Navy S-3 obtained the S-3 strictly as an ASW aircraft, the service found such a "flying truck" to be very useful, so much so that the Viking was sometimes called the "Swiss Army Knife". However, despite its usefulness, the future of the S-3 is somewhat uncertain. Me olvidaba, yo tengo que su autonomia de pratulla es de 7 horas y 30 minutos.Saludos</blockquote>
