Sensors
1x MX-15 multi-sensor imaging system beneath its nose to localize, track, identify and detect targets in day / night and difficult weather conditions.
6x high-definition imaging and laser sensors such as laser rangefinder, laser illuminator, and Electro-Optical / Infrared (EO / IR) cameras. Developed by L-3 Wescam
1x multi-mode search radar is fitted under the fuselage to provide an unobstructed 360° field of view. It can detect, recognize, classify and track both land and water-based objects such as fishing vessels, merchant ships, inflatable boats and small craft up to a distance of 200nm.

Comments
Sensors:
Search Radar
Multi-mode radar for detection, localization, classification, and tracking of targets
over water and land – all weather, day or night
Maximum range of 200 nm, tracking 100+ surface targets while scanning
Detects: Ocean-going fishing vessels or merchant ships between 80-200 nm; Small
craft or inflatable boats up to 35 nm; and, SAR mode provides the capability of
distinguishing and recognizing ground contacts
Electro-Optical/Infrared sensors
Stabilized, high magnification imaging sensors greatly extend detection, recognition, and identification range
Multi-spectral imaging (daylight, low light, and thermal) enables search operations
under sub-optimal conditions, such as overcast, dusk, and even complete darkness
Target geo-location eases handoff to ground personnel
EO/IR sensors lend themselves to search automation
