BAe Harrier II (UK versions) - Technical data and discussion

Ah, okay. Because that’s what I’d be rather interested in. Is if the tornados or Harriers had the ability to display friendlies in the HUD. Would be awesome for SIM.

I wanna say, the FA2 may have done from books I’ve read but not sure.

GR7 doesn’t for sure, GR4 came with a new HUD unit but if it had the same IFF system I’ve no idea. Don’t even know yet if the symbology on GR4 is even different or if it was just an improvement in forward visibility.

GR9 I don’t have that info either sadly.

In here Janes seems to suggest that there are 2 templates, the simpler one on the right, and a more sophisticated one on the bottom. I doubt they just made that up, so it has to come from something.
Or rather, based on this

They probably refer to Guardian.

One is a Viper II style helmet and the other is something else that seems to be in development, non of them are the final Striker HMS used by GR3.

Just edited.
That is probably the Guardian display.
Guardian from Kentron document


I would say it refers to Guardian.

It seems it had to do something with the Cheetahs, but im not sure if it served on them or not.

Would certainly add some spice to the aircraft if it did.

And, well, Guardina on the Rooivlak, but probably a different version

@Gunjob do we have anything about this?
If real, it could be added to the game, as we have 1B in game.

HMD those AIM-9Gs

I will

Ohh GR.1B, first I’ve heard about it having the Striker. It’s possible for sure but would be the first I’ve heard about it. And I don’t have GR.1B doc.

Unlucky :/

Nothing about it in the 1992 Jaguar Tactics manual. Might have been a goal to get it on GR.1B but ended up being rolled up into the GR.3.

The article is from August 1997
