	RAF Harrier II
		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.
		The Harrier T10 is the original two seat training variant of the second generation RAF Harrier.

		The Sea Harriers and HMS Invincible, commissioned on July 11, 1980, received a baptism of fire during the Falklands War of 1982.
		The Sea Harriers were to operate in their primary air defence role, with the Harrier GR.3 expected to act as attrition replacements for the Sea Harriers.
		However the Sea Harriers claimed 24 kills with no losses in air combat (two were destroyed in a mid-air collision) and the RAF fleet was free to operate in their primary ground attack role.

	Air Force 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.

	JOINT FORCE HARRIER - The future is not sea grey.
		The MoD stated that the planned withdrawal of the Sea Harrier reflects certain limitations in its capabilities, and the introduction later in the decade of the new Type 45 destroyer which boasts a "very capable area air defence system" (the Type 45 will be equipped with ASTER and is due in service during 2007).
		The Harrier GR9/9a programme is basically the Harrier GR7 Integrated Weapons Programme (IWP) which brings together a number of discrete weapon-system enhancement projects and forms the crux of bringing the GR9 and T Mk12 aircraft into service.
		To allow the Mk107 to be fitted to the Harrier GR7, a number of airframe and systems modifications are required and it is planned to carry out these and then install the Mk107 during the Harrier GR9 Programme.

		The new wing enables higher take-off weights and more ordnance, although despite the more powerful engine the Harrier II is about 50 mph (80 km/h) slower than its predecessor.
		The AV-8B+ uses the same APG-65 radar system as the F/A-18 Hornet and is able to carry AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles, giving the aircraft a considerable increase in anti-aircraft capabilities.
		However, these missiles are most likely to be deployed as a means of self-defense or airbase defense instead of air superiority, because despite its agility, the Harrier is subsonic and therefore slower than most fighters.

		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.
		While the GR7 deployed on Invincible class aircraft carriers during testing as early as June 1994, the first operational deployments at sea began in 1997.
		The Mk 107 engine provides around 3,000 lbf (13 kN) extra thrust than the Mk 105's 21,750 lbf (98 kN) thrust, increasing aircraft performance during "hot and high" and carrier borne operations.
