answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2015 answer text <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> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne grouped question UIN 223409 223410 question first answered 11/02/2015 17:54:53 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 26 November 2014 to Question 215200, how the overall tolerability level was calculated; and how the figure of 0.84 per 1,000 was arrived at for the Tornado when the level for one primary accident set, mid-air collision, was 0.86 per 1,000.

tabling member printed	Angus Robertson
uin	219523
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/01/2015 answer text <p>The figure of 0.86 per 1,000 is derived from a 2012 Defence Science and Technology Laboratory report. This modelled an estimate of the expected future level of Tornado Mid-Air Collisions from 2011 through the remaining service life of Tornado GR4.</p><p>The figure of 0.84 per 1,000 uses a different metric, in accordance with the Military Aviation Authority Regulatory Article (RA) 1210 Annex A. This metric is the Rate of Death for Tornado GR4 aircrew based on actual historic fatalities covering all accident sets over a defined period, and is now used as the starting position for tolerability judgements.</p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne question first answered 12/01/2015 17:58:07 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne previous answer version 37743 answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne

uin	HL2932
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2014 answer text <p>The RAF maintains the flexibility to adapt to a changing world and we have decided that the Tornado GR4 force should sustain three, rather than two, frontline squadrons based out of RAF Marham, for another year beyond 31 March 2015. This is a pragmatic measure to provide resilience during the transition from Tornado to Typhoon. The planned out of service date for the Tornado GR4 fleet remains 2019.</p> answering member printed Lord Astor of Hever question first answered 24/11/2014 17:21:17 answering member 3428 label Biography information for Lord Astor of Hever
