Summary: 이탈리아공군 Tornado ECR과 IDS Tornado ECR Electronic Combat and Reconnaissance was developed to meet the requirements of Germany It performs reconnaissance electronic battle management and SEAD missions It is equipped with an advanced FLIR an emitter locator system and AGM 88 HARM anti radiation missiles Weapons OptionsAGM 88D HARM x2AIM 9M Sidewinder x2Other EquipmentBOW 21 x1RB199 34R

Origin UK Germany Italy Current Status In Service Out of Production From conception to operational service took twelve years but what was remarkable about this was that the Tornado and all its systems were delivered on time and on budget The Tornado was originally designed to fulfill six different roles After the Tornado went into service another role was defined defense suppression Italy and Germany procured the purpose built Electronic Combat Reconnaissance ECR version This type is armed with the High Speed Anti Radiation Missile HARM The six original roles were 1 Interdiction Strike 2 Counter Air Strike 3 Battlefield Interdiction 4 Close Air Support 5 Reconnaissance 6 Interception This last role was not taken up but the RAF went one step further and developed the Air Defense Variant ADV now called the Tornado F 3 The Tornado is the RAF s first variable geometry aircraft Built by a consortium from Britain Germany and Italy known as Panavia with its head quarters in Munich Germany The first British assembled aircraft flew from Warton in Lancashire on 30 October 1974 The first production GR1 flew on 10 July 1979 A total of 228 GR1 s were built for the RAF 36 of these were dual control and designated GR1 T The three countries that contributed to the project manufactured different sections of the aircraft Britain made the nose and rear fuselage Italy made the wings and Germany the centre fuselage The Rolls Royce designed engines were built by Turbo Union these were the RB 199 turbofans Originally the MRCA Multi Role Combat Aircraft as it was known was to be a NATO aircraft with countries such as Canada Belgium and The Netherlands expected to contribute but these countries elected to go for US built cheaper single seaters instead The RAF first employed the Tornado at the TTTE Tri National Tornado Training Establishment at Cottesmore in July 1980 As its name suggests this unit was to train aircrew from all three nations to use both the aircraft and its systems This unit was followed in August 1981 by the TWCU Tactical Weapons Conversion Unit based at Honiton The Tornado superseded the Buccaneer Jaguar and Vulcan in the bomber and maritime strike roles A vast amount of weaponry can be carried by the Tornado including 500 Kiloton nuclear bombs BL755 cluster bombs 1 000 lb HE bombs laser guided bombs and anti radiation missiles Tornadoes are currently being converted to GR 4 standard this will include new equipment such at TIALD FLIR and a new navigational sub system Variants Development History MRCA Original designation for Tornado
