Of course if you need to get the capability up and running sooner rather than later, we could always sell you some Searchwater/Cerberus kits for installing on Ospreys...
Perhaps rear ramp mounted like this earlier proposal for the Merlin ASaC?

I have pointed out before my counter proposal. https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/v-22-osprey-thread-news-pics-videos.t7189/page-26#post-547689
USNavAir and the Marines are already voicing for MUX to have a AEW capabilities as well as ASW set. https://www.sinodefenceforum.com/v-...tilt-rotor-aircraft.t7792/page-11#post-525293
The smaller Bell V247 drone could be carried in greater numbers as in stowed configuration it takes the same space as a UH1 or British Wildcat. It could even deployed aboard smaller ships with less penalties to onboard fleet, even be off loaded to Escourt like DDG.
Although it would lack an onboard crew it's operations could be run through existing CIC organic to the carrier or host ships. It would have limitations of the unpressurized V22 series.

The United States is deploying a carrier strike group and a bomber task force to the Middle East to send a clear message to Iran that any attack on U.S. interests or its allies will be met with "unrelenting force," U.S. national security adviser John Bolton said on Sunday.
Amid rising tensions between the United States and Iran, Bolton said the decision was "in response to a number of troubling and escalatory indications and warnings."
"The United States is not seeking war with the Iranian regime, but we are fully prepared to respond to any attack, whether by proxy, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps or regular Iranian forces," Bolton said in a statement.
"The United States is deploying the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group and a bomber task force to the U.S. Central Command region to send a clear and unmistakable message to the Iranian regime that any attack on United States interests or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force," Bolton said.
Bolton, who has spearheaded an increasingly hawkish U.S. policy on Iran, did not provide any other details.
A U.S. official said the forces "have been ordered to the region as a deterrence to what has been seen as potential preparations by Iranian forces and its proxies that may indicate possible attacks on U.S. forces in the region."

This mission was planned several month ago and the carrier is changing his home port from the east coast to the west coast
Yes I know about the multi-ship homeport switch. I just copied and pasted the "news" article. I posted this article last year about the homeport shifts.

Isn’t this just another normal deployment from Mediterranean to Persian Gulf?
There is always a carrier there or nearby

Yes, but considering that that carrier should make a port visit in Croatian port of Split, and they cancelled that in a last moment, then maybe it's really sent to Gulf ASAP?
