Capable of ESM support for up to 5,800 feet, the Mantis is an AWACS plane that is capable of supersonic flight. It is very agile, however, the ESM battery must be recharged after takeoff. It has 4 nose-mounted .50 cal MGs for defense. (Just throttle up to make the ESM CPU go.)

Now that I look at it, this looks a lot like the AGAP 305.
@AerodynamicallyConfused Thanks! I've always liked ESM planes, and it's nice to find another fan!
Interesting concept! I like it.
