The Raptor consists of an electro-optical infrared (EO/IR) DB-110 reconnaissance sensor, an imagery data recording system and an air-to-ground data link system.
The sensor captures real-time, long-range imagery, which is transmitted through a data link to a ground station to support tactical operations.
The RAF has a total of eight Raptor pods and operates the system on the fleet of Tornado GR.4A and GR.4 aircraft.
