:The ATR 72-600 features several improvements. It is powered by the new [[Pratt & Whitney Canada PW127M|PW127M]] engines, which enable a 5% increase in takeoff power via a "boost function" used only when called for by takeoff conditions. The flight deck features five wide [[LCD]] screens (improving on the [[EFIS]] of earlier versions). A multi-purpose computer (MPC) aims at increasing flight safety and operational capabilities, and new [[Thales Group|Thales]]-made [[avionics]] provide [[Required Navigation Performance]] (RNP) capabilities. It also features lighter seats and larger overhead baggage bins. In December 2015, the EASA approved a new high-density seating layout, raising the maximum capacity from 74 to 78 seats.<ref name="ainonline.com"/>

[[File:P-72A.jpg|thumb|ATR 72MP of Italian Air Force]]
The ATR 72MP is an ATR 72-600 derivative developed by [[Leonardo S.p.A.|Leonardo]] for [[search and rescue]], [[maritime patrol]], [[command and control]], communication, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance ([[Command and control#Derivative terms|C4ISR]]).
Leonardo Electronics designed its ''Airborne Tactical Observation and Surveillance'' (ATOS) backbone to manage its sensors, combine their output in a [[Military tactics|tactical]] situation presented on up to four [[workstation]]s.

The main sensors are
* a multimode [[radar]], also with [[Active Electronically Scanned Array|active electronically scanned array]] (AESA) like the [[Leonardo Electronics Seaspray 7300]];
* an [[Electro-optical sensor|electro-optical turret]] (EO/IR);
* an [[Automatic Identification System|automatic identification system]] (AIS);
* an airborne search and rescue direction finder (ASARS DF).

A tactical display is added to the [[glass cockpit]] and can be integrated with [[Inertial navigation system|INS]]/[[GPS]] positioning systems and [[IFF transponder]].
Three U/[[Airband|VHF radios]], one [[HF radio]] and a wideband [[Communications satellite|SATCOM]] are used for communications. Other sensors, systems and communications equipment can be integrated, like an [[Electronic warfare support measures|electronic support measure]] (ESM) system. A [[Defensive aids system|defensive aids sub-system]] (DASS) is optionally available for operation in hostile areas.<ref name=":1" />

; ATR 72 ASW
: The ATR 72 ASW integrates the ATR 72 MP ([[Maritime Patrol]]) mission system with similar on-board equipment, but with additional [[anti-submarine warfare]] (ASW) capabilities.

; ATR 82
: During the mid-1980s, the company investigated a 78-seat derivative of the ATR 72. This would have been powered by two [[Allison AE2100]] turboprops (turbofans were also studied for a time) and would have had a cruising speed as high as {{convert|330|kn|km/h mph}}. The ATR-82 project (as it was dubbed) was suspended when [[Aero International (Regional)|AI(R)]] was formed in early 1996.{{Citation needed|date=August 2024}}

; ATR 82 TF
: ATR also studied a turbofan version of the proposed ATR 82 (stretched version of the ATR 72) in the early 1990s. Powered by either the [[Allison AE 3007|Allison GMA 3012]] or the [[General Electric CF34]], the aircraft would have a range of about {{cvt|1,000|nmi}} and cruise at {{cvt|375|kn|km/h mph}} at an altitude of {{cvt|25,000|ft}}.<ref name="CRAN19920706">{{cite newsletter |issn=1040-5402 |work=Commuter Regional Airline News |title=Aerospatiale/Alenia studies ATR-82 turbofan |publication-date=6 July 1992 |pages=1+ |volume=10 |number=27 |id={{Gale|A12332810}}}}</ref>

; ATR Quick Change
: This proposed version targeted the increasing demand of worldwide cargo and express mail markets, where the aim is to allow operators to supplement their passengers flights with freighter flights. In Quick Change configuration, the smoke detector is equipped alongside other modifications required in order to meet the certification for full freight operations. The aircraft was equipped with a larger cargo door (1.27&nbsp;m [50&nbsp;in] wide and 1.52&nbsp;m [60&nbsp;in] high) and low door-sill height of an average 1.2&nbsp;m (4&nbsp;ft), facilitating containerised freight loading. It takes 30 minutes to convert the ATR 42, and 45 minutes to convert the ATR 72. Each optimized container has {{convert|2.8|m3|abbr=on}} of usable volume and maximum payload is 435&nbsp;kg (960&nbsp;lb).<ref>[http://www.atraircraft.com/products/derivatives.html "ATR Quick Change."] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111120065031/http://www.atraircraft.com/products/derivatives.html |date=20 November 2011 }} ''ATR'', Retrieved: 17 November 2012.</ref>
