After completing an evaluation of the plane’s body structure, hydraulic pressure system, and electronic circuit system, on May 21, RADI’s remote sensing airplane (B4102) began a test flight for a major CAS program on S&T infrastructure improvement, “renovation of a high-resolution all-weather information acquisition system onboard remote sensing airplanes.” 

The new system will give RADI’s Citation remote sensing airplane the operational capacity for integrating an advanced digital area-scan aerial remote sensing camera with an advanced airborne SAR under China’s patent rights. Once the acceptance check has been passed, the new system will be a regular facility of the airplane. More flights will be conducted to test renovation of high-resolution radar and aerial radar in the future.
