In recent years, the Coast Guard has been working on implementing new airborne assets. 

According to a spokesperson for the Coast Guard, a priority has been to equip these assets with technological tools to assist in carrying out coast guard tasks. Upon finalizing the new contracts, it was ensured that the new airborne assets are equipped with modern technology, including new day and night cameras, extensive optical sensors, and improved communication tools.
