Among his tasks were: marine patrol, transportation, as well as conducting search and rescue operations. "NGAA CATALINA II is a modern amphibian with advanced engines and avionica, which will provide opportunities that no other amphibian can provide today," said Catalina Aircraft President Lawrence. It is this company that has PBY-5 certificates for creating amphibians.
The publication says that the development of a Catalina aircraft can be very timely because the US is looking for planes independent of runway. Because in the event of war with China, airports and airfields are likely to become the first goals. The US Air Force Special Operations Command is currently testing what is called MC-130J Amphibios Capability or Mac. This is converted into MS-130J hydrolyce.
However, at least two to three years of years left before the initial demonstration of this concept. However, the hydrolyte will be limited in capacity if compared to the future Catalina II. Because Catalina will potentially be able to work in stormy waters. Both boards can complement each other. Catalina Aircraft stated that they develop two variants of Catalina II, one for commercial customers and the other for the military.
