The aircraft is equipped with an advanced SAR equipment package including Leonardo-Finmeccanica's newly-launched Osprey AESA radar. Based around a flat-panel antenna design, Osprey is the world’s first lightweight airborne surveillance radar to be built with no moving parts and will provide a 360 degree field of view for crews
Oh dear, don't they know a 360 radar is very old fashioned and very unnecessary?

Shame our politicians and military couldn't have been as pragmatic as the Norweigans and just equipped the military with 101s................
