UK Tornado force pushes NTISR
This from Janes.
UK Royal Air Force (RAF) Panavia Tornado GR.4 reconnaissance/attack aircraft are now in the forefront of developing non-traditional intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (NTISR) tactics during missions to support coalition troops.
US and UK aircraft operating over Iraq are using their electro-optical targeting pods to improve situational awareness for ground troops and detect insurgent threats. The changing nature of the counter-insurgency campaign has forced coalition air forces in Iraq to evolve their operations and push non-kinetic effects to the fore, according to RAF officers.
