		Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm to merge their Sea Harrier force with the RAF's Harrier GR7s to form "Joint Force Harrier." This joint force was to operate from Royal Navy Invincible class aircraft carriers or air bases as required.
		The surface fleet force was reduced from 35 to 32 frigates and destroyers, 25 to 22 minehunters and the attack submarine force was reduced from 12 to 10.
		The potency of the SSN force was increased by the decision to make all capable of firing the Tomahawk land attack missile (TLAM.) The SDR confirmed the purchase an initial batch of three Astute class submarines.

	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.

		British military and naval forces are now deployed around the world to a degree unprecedented in the postCold War era: from Brunei to Bosnia, from Cyprus to Saudi Arabia, from Belfast to Botswana, from Germany to Gibraltar-and in an additional 26 countries.
		That requirement implies an expeditionary capability that must not be at the mercy of host-nation support, particularly after the examples of the "lock-in" and "lock-out" of allied air assets by Italy and in Saudi Arabia during past crises.
		That component is destined to be carried on two new aircraft carriers (designated CVF for "aircraft carrier future") supporting a joint force equipped with appropriate expeditionary logistics and strategic air and sealift.

	Naval Institute Proceedings: STOVL JSFs Put Teeth in Sea Basing, by Major Andrew G. Shorter, U.S. Marine Corps
		With the Sea Basing concept, footprints ashore are reduced, force protection is much easier to manage, and a very high operational tempo can be initiated and maintained just as the force enters the joint operating area.
		Understanding that "global joint operations against regional and transnational dangers" represents the CNO's emergent strategy, and acknowledging that area access and host nation support are by no means guaranteed, we must embrace Sea Basing and adopt a triservice acquisition strategy for the STOVL JSF.
		Adoption and joint operational employment of the STOVL JSF will ensure that the capacity to enhance the sea bases' combat power through sustainment of airborne fires will be maximized.
