basically modify an aircraft into a new role by adding radomes or lumps and bumps.

eg.

aew hercules - build up a hercules and add the radome to it like the uscg version or add radomes to the front and back like the aew nimrod.

anyone else in?

Several AEW proposals to throw into the bag:

[Spey_Phantom]

ive already started construction of a dorsal Erieye-style radar.
thinking of mounting it onto an CL604 or an E-2 frame 

if this GB was official, then im in

There was a AEW Herc offered to the RAAF against the Wedgetail 737.  there have also been Herc MPA offers.

seeing martins destroyer aew got me thinking about a sub hunter gb,

1. modify a none asw aircraft into a sub hunter

2. update an older sub hunter

3. suggestions welcome

Another damm fine idea. In fact, I did this a few years ago. Navalised a Canberra and made it a carrier borne ASW machine. There were pictures of it on the old site, but alas it no longer survives. It was wilfully destroyed by a nasty little kid.

The 737, 707, and DC-8 are all aircraft I've wanted to convert into some sort of jet powered sub hunter.   In the prop world, a D.H.-4 for WW-1, a Heller DC-6, and an A-26K have come to mind in various scenarios as well.

Got the drawing of the MPA Trident somewhere around here

B-52 with twelve Mk46 torps under the wings and a MAD boom? (Would need to get a B-52 first, though...) An SH-64, with torps rather than Hellfires, and a dipping sonar in place of the cannon.

Hehe, an air-launched version of ASROC for helicopters would be cool...

And, while not quite fitting the theme here, how about converting a Raptor or a JSF into an underwater craft? :-)

V-22 with a towed MAD boom, dipping sonar, ejectable sonobuoys, and torps from an ASW helo.

Harriers!

Shas

Split a two-seater down the middle and widen it to four seats, Viking/Prowler style......

[GTX]

Post war (Germany winning or otherwise) He-177 or He274/277 converted to ASW with MAD boom in tail, observation blisters etc like these:
