<p>Installation of the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) II involves
the integration of multiple Tornado GR4 aircraft systems. BAE Systems is managing
this through a Weapon System Specification from which it has flowed down specific
equipment specifications to the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The OEMs
detail how they have met the specific equipment specification by providing a Declaration
of Design Performance in a format specified by Panavia, the original manufacturer
of the aircraft. BAE Systems manage boundary control.</p><p>TCAS II is cleared for
use in Traffic Advisory mode on the operationally capable Tornado GR4 fleet.</p><p>It
is planned that a minimum of 42 Tornado GR4 will be fitted with TCAS II.</p><p>It
should be noted this is the first time ever a Collision Avoidance System has been
fitted to a combat fast jet, anywhere in the world, that we know of.</p>
