The de Havilland Nimrod MRA.4 is a maritime patrol and attack aircraft designed to replace the de Havilland Nimrod MR.2. The rebuilt aircraft is predicted to extend the operating life of the Nimrod fleet by several decades and significantly improve the aircraft by installing more efficient Rolls-Royce BR700 turbofan jet engines to almost double the flight range. The conversion of the flight deck to a digital glass cockpit has simplified control operations and reduced crew requirements. New detection systems were installed, as well as additional weapons for anti-submarine warfare.
