A maritime observation jet. The Seascan, which has been used by the IAF since 1978, is a specialized version of the IAI's Westwind business plane, developed in the 1970's.

一种喷气式海上监视飞机。“海上扫描”监视机，自1978年以来已经由以色列空军使用，是以色列飞机工业公司（IAI）Westwind（前身是美国空中指挥官公司设计的1121喷气指挥官飞机）商务飞机的专用型，在1970年发展。

 

The IAI decided to develop the plane after the terror attack at the Savoy Hotel in Tel Aviv in March 1975, in which eight terrorists had reached the shore in a rubber dinghy, without being spotted. The plane can detect targets at long ranges, even over rough seas.

以色列飞机工业公司（IAI）在1975年3月特拉维夫萨沃伊酒店恐怖袭击之后决定发展计划，其中八名恐怖分子乘坐一艘橡皮艇靠岸，而不被发现。飞机可以探测到远距离的目标，即使是在波涛汹涌的海面上。

 

The Seascan has two bubble windows on either side of the fuselage, which enable final, visual identification of a target. The Shahaf planes are operated by the IAF, but it is the Israeli Navy that decides when and where to employ them. The Seascan has a crew complement of seven: a pilot, a copilot and a navigator from the Air Force, and a mission commander and three more men from the Navy. The mission commander is an officer who completed the Ship Captains Course or the Command Course in the Navy.

“海上扫描”监视机在机身两侧有两个气泡窗口，可以对目标进行最终视觉识别。沙哈夫（Shahaf）飞机由以色列空军（IAF）操作，但以色列海军则决定何时以及在哪里使用。“海上扫描”监视机有七名组员：一名飞行员，一名副驾驶员和来自空军的领航员，一名任务指挥官和三名来自海军的人员。任务指挥官是完成海军舰长课程或指挥课程的人员。

 

A maritime reconnaissance flight by the Seascan usually lasts several hours. Since their entry into service, the Seascans have assisted in the capture of terrorist boats and in the prevention of planned terror attacks. The planes were also involved in rescues of civilian vessels in distress on high seas, and in reporting ships that were polluting the waters.

“海上扫描”监视机的一次海上侦察飞行通常持续几个小时。自从该机进入服役以来，协助捕获恐怖分子船和防止计划中的恐怖袭击事件。这些飞机还参与在公海遇险的民用船只的救援工作，以及报告污染海域的船只。
