The Atlantic is a twin-engined, mid-winged monoplane with a "double-bubble" fuselage, with the upper lobe comprising a pressurised crew compartment, and the lower lobe housing a 9 m (27 ft 6 in) long weapons bay, with sonobuoy tubes aft of the weapons bay.
A radar scanner is housed in a retractable underfuselage radome, while a magnetic anomaly detector is housed in a tail boom.
Power is by two Rolls-Royce Tyne turboprop engines.

The Breguet Br.1150 Atlantic has been designed for its purpose, instead of refitting or modifying existing designs.
Though the primary mission of the Atlantic is anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare, its secondary role includes search and rescue, mine laying and detection, and long-range maritime surveillance.

The Atlantic can carry either eight guided ASW torpedoes such as Mk 46 Torpedo or 12 depth charges or two AM.39 Exocet Anti-Ship missiles in its internal bomb bay.
German Atlantic usually carried Mk 46s only and flew unarmed during the last years of their service.

An initial order for 60 Atlantics, 40 for France and 20 for Germany, was placed in 1963, with deliveries starting in 1965 and continuing to 1968.
The production line had shut down by the time that the Netherlands placed an order for nine Atlantics and Italy ordered 18.
Aircraft from this second production batch were delivered from 1972 to 1974.

In 1978, the French Government authorised development of a new, updated version of the Atlantic, the Atlantic Nouvelle Generation (later known as the Atlantique 2 when orders from other nations did not occur).
While airframe and engines of the new aircraft changed little, other equipment and avionics were considerably revised, with a new radar, a new sonar processor and tactical computer, with a FLIR turret under the nose.
The ability to carry Exocet missiles was also added.
Two prototype Atlantique 2s were produced by converting existing Atlantics, with the first flying on 8 May 1981, with production being authorised on 24 May 1984.
Deliveries started in 1989, with 28 eventually built, from an original requirement for 42.

Operational history
The Royal Netherlands Navy lost three Atlantics out of nine aircraft in a series of failures over the North Sea, resulting in the grounding of the type and its eventual replacement by the P-3 Orion.
The German Marineflieger never lost a single plane from 1963 to 2005.
The German Atlantics were replaced by the same P-3 Orion airframes the Netherlands had bought in the 1980s to replace the Atlantic, however meanwhile these aircraft were significantly modernized and upgraded, making them state-of-art maritime patrol aircraft.

In 1999, a Pakistan Navy Atlantic was shot down by Indian Air Force MiG-21s after they failed to force it to land at an Indian base, raising tensions in the region, in what was dubbed the Atlantique Incident.
Disobeying instructions from the MiG pilots, the Atlantic maneuvered to escape from them and was shot down by a heat-seeking air-to-air missile over the Rann of Kutch region.

Several German Atlantics have been donated to museums, including the Luftwaffenmuseum and the Dutch Air Force Museum, Soesterberg, Netherlands.
A Breguet Atlantic, referred to in news reports as an Atlantic Model 2, was used by the French Army in the search for parts of Air France Flight 447.

* German Navy - Received 20 Atlantics, with five converted as ELINT aircraft.[
Replaced all ASW aircraft by ex-Dutch P-3 Orion in 2005, while the remaining ELINT version will be replaced by the EuroHawks.
