As mentioned in the opening, the CBP’s P-3 AEW is the only law enforcement dedicated airborne radar aircraft in the world, and is flown by the CBP’s Air and Marine Operations (AMO) division.

I had no idea U.S. Customs and Border Protection had an airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) system, I post this because I am not sure most people in the US know this either and this is a seriously powerful machine with direct political relevance to ongoing geopolitics.
