The Panavia Tornado Gr.4 arose from a collaborative project between Italy, Germany and the UK to produce a multi-role, high performance combat aircraft. The primary goal was an aircraft for low-altitude penetrating strike missions. The Tornado is 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 it was upgraded to Gr.4 which included improved operational capabilities, new avionics systems for navigation and the adoption of a new 'on-board' technologies. These systems enabled the identification and tracking of targets and included new weapons such as Paveway IV bombs and Storm Shadow cruise missiles.
