So what is it exactly? CCC platform built on a G5 airframe?

Shame about the lighting on the second but sometimes you just gotta take what you're given.

Its commonly called ASTOR,(Airborne Stand-Off Radar) for battlefield/ground surveillance . Its not a G5, its a Bombardier Global Express, Oh and it struggles to lift all the weight.
