The sensor is electro-optical and infrared, allowing day or night missions. The data link allows imagery to be exploited almost instantly.No. II (AC) Sqn and 13 Sqn are the RAF's 2 specialist Tornado reconnaissance units, but with the RAPTOR pod any GR4 squadron can undertake reconnaissance missions.
