The Tornado Gr.4 arose from a collaborative project between Italy, Germany, and the United Kingdom to produce a multi-role, high-performance combat aircraft. The primary requirement, however, was to develop a’state of the art’ modern aircraft able to perform low-altitude penetrating strike missions. This need was met by the development of a twin-engine combat aircraft with a variable-sweep wing. The Tornado IDS (interdictor/strike) was the first version to be released by the British Royal Air Force and designated GR.1. In 1996, the Tornado was upgraded to the Gr. 4 standard, which was characterized by improved operational capabilities, new avionics systems for navigation, and the adoption of new ‘on-board’ technologies. These systems enabled the effective identification and tracking of targets and the weapons management of the newer generation of weapons, such as GBU-12 Paveway IV bombs.
