C-390 is designed to be a fairly effective SAR and maritime surveillance platform with a hard point for the Litening III pod and the effective surface search function of its radar. Weapon item #1292 - Litening III Pod [FLIR + LRMTS, 40k ft] Also has standard MAWS LWR fitted and the RWR currently fitted is likely to be of a newer generation than the 1970's technology item sensor #2919. Will attempt to identify which is fitted but likely to be Brazilian derived? Sensor #1315 - BOW-21?

(Mostly) handled 507. Leaving the generic RWR for now; the era shouldn't matter much for evasive action, although it's true it might be work creating multiple eras of the generics.
