<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Diamond DA42 is a lightweight, 4-person aircraft capable of taking 
off from rough runways. Its toughness and small size makes it ideal for 
use as a light militarized support aircraft in COIN environments, as the
 CSA-003 is intended for.</td></tr>

The CSA-003 is China’s newest Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) 
aircraft. Built by the China Electronic Technology Corporation’s 
Avionics division, the CSA-003 is a family of special mission aircraft 
that include maritime patrol and oil spill response.<br />

The CSA-003 will join larger Chinese ELINT platforms, such as the 
medium Y-9 aircraft. Its parallel may more be smaller ELINT airplanes 
like the U.S. Army’s RC-12 Huron, which are also twin engined turboprop 
aircraft modified for gathering battlefield intelligence in 
counterinsurgency environments like Afghanistan and Iraq. The usage of a
 European airframe, subject to EU arms restrictions, suggests that the 
CSA-003 may initially be geared to paramilitary missions like border 
patrol. Thanks to Andreas Rupprecht for pointing out the usage of the Diamond DA42.

ELINT is a vital part of today’s military activities and future 
battlefield. In addition to collecting intelligence on potential 
enemies’ electronic activity, in a battlefield situation, it enables 
electronic and cyber attacks against enemy electronics through 
pinpointing their location and vulnerabilities.<br />

Built by CETCS off of an Austrian designed Diamond DA42 utility 
plane, the CSA-003 is a twin turboprop engined, 1.7 ton plane with heavy
 composite usage in its fuselage. The website states that the CSSA-003’s
 crew consists of 1-2 pilots and 1 sensor operator. The sensor payload, 
carried in a pod under the fuselage, consists of a modern, digital ELINT
 and signals processing suite that can detect, track and analyze enemy 
electronic activities, such as communications, weapons guidance and 
radars.<br />

<br />

The CSA-003 also has the capability for installing an electro 
optical/infrared sensor turret, which can detect enemy regular and 
irregular forces like infantry under all weather conditions. The CSA-003
 can count on satellite links and processing support from ground 
stations to act as part of a larger network of integrated electronic 
attack assets.<br />
