EADS CASA of Spain and Dirgantara Indonesia (Indonesian Aerospace), formerly IPTN of Indonesia, formed the company Aircraft Technology Industries, or AirTech, to develop the CN-235 aircraft. Project teams in Spain and Indonesia simultaneously began the design work in 1980 and organised simultaneous aircraft roll out ceremonies in 1983.The production version of the aircraft first flew in 1986 and entered service in 1988. EADS CASA has developed a series of variants of the 235, with improved payload, performance and maintainability. The CASA family of 235 series aircraft have gained civil certification by the United States Federal Administration, the European Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA) and the Australian CAA Aviation Authority. The new CASA CN235-300 provides improved hot and high performance, in-flight refuelling for extended range and longer time on station, higher-rated pressurisation and optional twin nosewheels to replace the single nosewheel for improved operation on short and unprepared runways.

The take-off run is just 1,217m and the plane can transport loads up to 6,000kg. The maritime patrol variant has been selected for the US Coast Guard's Integrated Deepwater System and prime contractor Lockheed Martin received a contract in February 2004 to deliver an initial two CN-235-300 maritime patrol aircraft from 2007. The first aircraft, designated HC-235A, was delivered to Lockheed Martin, for integration of the mission systems, in December 2006. Operational Evaluation will begin in 2007. All 36 aircraft are to be in service by 2017. The flight deck accommodates the pilot and co-pilot and a mission crew member. The Series 300 CN-235 cockpit is night-vision-goggle compatible and fitted with twin head-up displays. The electronic flight and information system, a Rockwell Collins EFIS-85B (14), has four 152mm x 203mm (6in x 8in) liquid crystal displays. The aircraft is equipped with an open-systems avionics suite with MIL-STD-1553B and ARINC 429 military digital databuses, a Thales (formerly Sextant) Avionics Topdeck colour weather, flight data recorder, cockpit voice recorder, advanced terrain collision avoidance system (enhanced TCAS) and Ground Proximity Warning System (GPWS).
