During a Russian naval exercise in the Baltic Sea, a Portuguese F-16M (armed with a recce pod) detected an anomalous surface contact – a civilian fishing vessel zigzagging in a restricted zone. Using ATP-3.3.8.1 Appendix C procedures, the aircrew conducted a digital recce handoff to a nearby P-8A Poseidon. The P-8’s SAR confirmed the vessel was actually a covert SIGINT collector. The entire detection-to-classification timeline: 4 minutes and 20 seconds. NATO doctrine credits ATP-3.3.8.1’s standardized report format for the speed.
