Specifications

Engines: Two RR RB199 Mk103 turbofans

Thrust: 16,000lbs each

Max speed: 1.3Mach

Length: 16.72m

Max altitude: 50,000ft

Span: 8.6m

Aircrew: 2

Armament: DMS and Legacy Brimstone, Enhanced Paveway II, Storm Shadow, ,
Paveway II, Paveway III, Paveway IV, Mauser 27mm Cannon, ASRAAM

Powered by two Rolls-Royce RB 199 Mk 103 turbofan engines, the GR4 is capable of low-level
supersonic flight and can sustain a high subsonic cruise speed. The aircraft can fly automatically
at low level using Terrain Following Radar (TFR) when poor weather prevents visual flight. The
aircraft is also equipped with Forward Looking InfraRed (FLIR) and is Night Vision Goggle
(NVG) compatible. This gives it a relatively unique all weather night capability as well as
making it an impressive platform for mounting passive night electro-optical operations.
For navigation purposes, the Tornado is equipped with an integrated Global Positioning Inertial
Navigation System (GPINS). The GR4 also has a Ground Mapping Radar (GMR) to identify fixpoints and update navigation systems as well as providing an air to air search facility. The GR4 is
also equipped with a Laser Ranger and Marked Target Seeker (LRMTS) that can be used to
locate targets designated on the ground or can provide accurate range information to ground
targets.
The GR4 typically carries up to a maximum of 5 Paveway IV smart weapons or 2 Stormshadow
cruise missiles but can be configured with various weapons, targeting pods and reconnaissance
pods simultaneously including the Dual Mode Seeker (DMS) Brimstone, ALARM Mk2 missile,
Litening III and the Reconnaissance Airborne Pod Tornado (RAPTOR).

The RAPTOR pod is one of the most advanced reconnaissance sensors in the world and greatly
increases the effectiveness of the aircraft in the reconnaissance role. Its introduction into service
gave the GR4 the ability to transmit real-time, Long Range Oblique Photography (LOROP) to
commanders or to view this in cockpit during a mission. The stand-off range of the sensors also
allows the aircraft to remain outside heavily defended areas, thus minimising the aircrafts
exposure to enemy air-defence systems. Additional capability in the Non-Traditional Intelligence
Surveillance and Reconnaissance (NTISR) role is provided by the Litening III RD and the use of
the ROVER data link for providing tactical operators with real time Full Motion Video (FMV) in
the battle space.
All GR4 aircraft are capable of carrying the Air Launched Anti-Radiation Missile (ALARM),
which homes on to the emitted radiation of enemy radar systems and can be used in the
Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD) role. The GR4 is capable of carrying up to nine
ALARM or a mixed configuration of ALARM and bombs. The self protection capability of the
GR4 has recently been upgraded by the integration of the state of the art ASRAAM short range
air to air missile. Infra-Red (IR) and Radio Frequency (RF) countermeasures are provided by a
BOZ-107 Pod on the right wing to dispense chaff and flares and a Sky Shadow-2 electronic
countermeasures pod on the left wing. The aircraft is also equipped with an integral 27mm
Mauser cannon capable of firing 1700 rounds per minute.
The Tornado GR4 is now equipped with the Storm Shadow missile and 2 variants of the
Brimstone missile, including the most advanced DMS variant. The Storm Shadow allows the
Tornado to make precision strikes in poor weather with a greatly increased stand-off range from
the target area. Whilst legacy Brimstone provides the Tornado with an effective anti-armour
weapon coupled with an enhanced stand-off range. The DMS variant enables unrivalled
flexibility coupled with precision which is second to none.
In addition, the TornadoGR4 Force trains and maintains a capability with legacy weapons such
as 1000lbclass dumb weapons, legacy Paveway II and III as well as their enhanced variants and
the AIM 9L.The Tornado GR4 is currently operated from two bases. TheTornado Operational
Conversion Unit, XV (Reserve) Squadron, is based at RAF Lossiemouth. RAF Marham is the
home of the GR4s of II (Army Cooperation) Squadron, IX (Bomber) Squadron and 31 Squadron
the Gold Stars.
The Tornado GR4 has beensuccessfully deployed in Operational theatres since 1990. It has seen
actionunder various operations in Iraq, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Operation ELLAMY overthe
skies of Libyain support of the United Nations Security Council Resolution of 1970.
