This Italian Tornado was built as an IDS variant (c/n IS019, but was modified to Electronic Combat and Reconnaissance (ECR) in 1993. The differences with the IDS version is an improved engine, and a color digital moving map, an improved HUD with symbols generator, a Forward Looking Infra-Red for night navigation and an Emitter Locator System. Externally the ECR version is easily recognizable because the internal guns were removed. Near the gear door the FLIR can be seen.
