BAE Systems developed the Tornado Advanced Radar Display Information System (TARDIS), a 32.5-centimetre (12.8 in) multi-function display, to replace the rear cockpit's Combined Radar and Projected Map Display; the RAF began installing TARDIS on the GR4 fleet in 2004.

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 fix-points...

The avionics suite of the Tornado GR4 is highly advanced for its generation, featuring terrain-following radar that allows automatic flight at extremely low altitudes, even in adverse weather or night conditions. This capability makes the aircraft exceptionally suited for strike missions in contested environments.

Panavia upgraded 142 Tornado GR.1s to GR.4 standard, beginning in 1996 and finishing in 2003. The aircraft is equipped with Forward Looking Infra-Red (FLIR) and is Night Vision Goggle (NVG) compatible, resulting in an all-weather night capability as well as making it an impressive platform for mounting passive night electro-optical operations.

radar map display system for the U.K. Royal Air Force’s Tornado GR4 aircraft, to provide the pilot and navigator with advanced, enhanced situational awareness for low-level terrain navigation and avoidance capabilities. BAE Systems used the Wind River platforms development tools suite and …

An advanced new radar which will equip Royal Air Force (RAF) pilots with the ability to locate, identify and suppress enemy air defences has taken to the skies for the first time.

This article provides a technical overview of the Tornado Advanced Radar/Map Display Information System (TARDIS) being developed by BAE Systems for the Tornado GR4 aircraft using Wind River® platforms.

New avionics improve navigation and flight performance, including the installation of a Global Positioning System. In addition to the existing range of weaponry, such as laser-guided bombs and...

This is a Radar and Map Display Processor unit, a part of TARDIS, from a Tornado GR4. It replaced the Combined Radar and Projected Map Display (CRPMD) in the Aft Cockpit.

2020年7月26日 · It hugely increased the effectiveness of the GR4 in the reconnaissance role, with the ability to download real-time, long-range, off-set images to ground stations during a mission. The stand-off range of the sensors allowed us to stay clear of threats (surface to air missiles or AAA sites) and therefore minimised our exposure time.”
