This program was ground breaking on many levels. Firstly, two Jetstream 41's were converted from civil passenger configuration to Airborne Maritime Surveillance configuration for a Leading European Military organisation.

Each aircraft contains five highly sophisticated consoles with excellent comfort and ergonomic design. Two nineteen inch displays are provided for four out of the five consoles. All consoles are connected by a variety of different data buses, not to mention significant integration with flight deck displays and instruments - all of which are provided on a failsafe basis.
