Sage, which is a digital sensor for aircraft, is used for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions.
Installed and integrated with the aircraft’s tactical mission system, Sage has the capability to identify the location of radio frequency (RF) emitters such as surface-to-air missile fire-control radars.
The first CN-235 was modified this year followed by airborne flight testing.
