	Hawker-Siddeley Harrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Harrier GR.3 featured improved sensors, countermeasures and a further uprated Pegasus Mk 103 and was to be the ultimate development of the 1st generation Harrier.
		The later model Harriers are easily distinguished by their extended wingspan, the wings extending beyond the outrigger wheels that are at the wingtips of the earlier versions (including Kestrel prototypes and the Sea Harrier).
		The Sea Harrier, which is based on the GR3, was important in the British victory in the Falklands War.

	RAF Harrier II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Harrier GR5, GR7, GR7A, GR9 and GR9A are all Royal Air Force variants of the BAE Systems/Boeing Harrier II.
		The primary air-to-air missile (AAM) of the Harrier is the AIM-9 Sidewinder using its infrared homing device (the combination of Harrier and Sidewinder proved effective against Argentinian Mirages in the Falklands conflict), but does not carry the medium range AIM-120 AMRAAM missile.
		With the retirement of the Sea Harrier it has been suggested that its Blue Vixen radar could be transferred to the GR9 fleet however the Ministry of Defence has rejected this as risky and too expensive.

		However, the Harrier II was originally developed primarily by McDonnell Douglas and the GR7 and GR9 are license-built versions of the U.S. version, respectively the AV-8B Harrier II and AV-8B+ Harrier II Plus.
		The Harrier II is an extensively modified version of the first generation Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR Mk.1/Mk.3 series which first flew in December, 1967.
		With the retirement of the Sea Harrier it has been suggested that its Blue Vixen radar could be transferred to the GR9 fleet however the Ministry of Defence has rejected this as risky and too expensive, Defence Minister Adam Ingram estimated the cost would be in excess of £600m.

	AV-8 Harrier II
		The AV-8B Harrier II, is a second generation, vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) light-attack jet aircraft utilized by the United States Marine Corps, Royal Air Force, Spanish Armada[?] and Italian navy[?].
		Each carried 24 Harriers, about four times their normal complement of fixed wing aircraft, and tried out the long dormant secondary purpose of the LHD's and LHA's, that of a small aircraft carrier, or sea control ship.
		Two detatchments from RAF Cottesmore[?] were sent to the region, with one known to have been based at the al Jaber[?] airbase in Kuwait, and the other at a so far undisclosed location.

	Harrier GR7 This is the latest in the long line of Harrier 'Jump Jets'
		First flight of the Harrier GR7 was in 1989, and deliveries to RAF squadrons began in 1990.
		Despite the inclusion of state-of-the-art technology, the Harrier remains a highly versatile aircraft and can easily be deployed to remote forward operating locations and this capablility is regularly practiced during exercises.
		Recent operational deployments for the Harriers have been to Italy in support of NATO and UN operations in Bosnia and Serbia, and to the Gulf embarked on Royal Navy aircraft carriers.

	Naval Technology - Harrier FA2 - VSTOL Fleet Defence Fighter Aircraft
		The BAE Systems FA2 Sea Harrier fighter aircraft, which is in service with the British Royal Navy and the Indian Navy, provides air defence for the carrier fleet, particularly against low-flying attack aircraft armed with long-range air-to-surface missiles.
		The Sea Harrier's anti-ship missile is the MBDA (formerly Matra Bae Dynamics) Sea Eagle, a fire-and-forget sea-skimming missile with active radar homing and a range of over 50 miles.
		The Sea Harrier can carry the MBDA ALARM anti-radiation missile, which can be deployed in direct attack mode against a radar target or in loiter mode, where the missile is launched in the vicinity of the threat and waits for the hostile radar to emit.

	The Royal Air Force - Equipment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The British Aerospace Harrier is used by the RAF in the close air support role.
		The first Harriers entered RAF service in 1969, making the RAF the first in the world to use its revolutionary vertical take-off and landing abilities which allow the aircraft to fly in and out of areas close to the battlefield that would normally be off-limits to conventional aircraft such as the Tornado.
		The current versions of the Harrier are the pilot-only GR7 (which is being upgraded with more powerful engines and electronic systems to become the GR9) and the two-seat T10 which, when not used as a training aircraft, can also be used in combat.

	Harrier GR7
		Harrier has been around for a very long time now and although some types have come and gone, it remains the only viable STOVL aircraft in the world.
		This is set to change within the next few years with the advent of the JSF programme, which, if it comes to fruition, will eventually replace the Harrier.
		The Harrier at Waddinton was part of the large RAF "home team" effort which included all of the front line combat types.

		The Harrier GR9 is the latest of the Harrier 'Jump Jets' originating from the 1960s.
		Capable of taking off and landing vertically, the Harrier is not tied to airfields with long concrete runways but, if necessary can be dispersed to sites in the field close to the forward edge of the battle area.

		The Harrier GR7 is a single seat, multi-role combat aircraft that is capable of operating in extreme environments and from a wide selection of locations, including deployed air bases and aircraft carriers.
		The Harrier is a very capable aircraft and has proven to be a valuable asset over the past few years in many campaigns including Bosnia, Kosovo and Northern Iraq.
		It is intended that the Harrier force be completely replaced by the Future Joint Combat Aircraft (FJCA) also referred to as the Joint Strike Fighter which is due to enter service in 2012 and be operated from the Royal Navy's Future Aircraft Carriers (CVF).

	Farewell to the Harrier jump jet \| the Daily Mail
		The Sea Harrier is an excellent fighting machine and it's good that its newer version is being flown by UK air forces.
		The Harrier GR7 / 9's are in the main ground attack aircraft, with very limited air-to-air capability, unlike the old Sea Harrier which was fully air-to-air functional.
		The Sea Harrier is certainly a loss to the Royal Navy, and a very short sighted political move since its full time replacement is some 5 years away even if it's ever delivered.
