The interior of this Merlin, formerly used as a surveillance plane, has been removed and numerous modifications have been accomplished. Two camera pods were built into the floor of the plane and SAT Comms along with various electronic equipment has been installed. A large portion of the avionics has been installed in cabinets along the aft end of the right hand interior and into the aft cargo bay.

The avionics installed are primarily Collins equipment. There is a Sperry C14 Flight Director on the Captains side, a standard HSI on the copilot side, dual TDR 90 Transponders, and dual Distance Measuring Equipment: one a 42 and one a 40 located in the aft of the cabin.
