The Maverick AGM-65 anti-tank missile is installed on the Italian Harrier II Plus. The AIM-7 Sparrow medium-range, air-to-air missile, a predecessor to the Raytheon AIM-120 AMRAAM, is held in the arms inventories of many countries, including the user countries of the Harrier II Plus aircraft. AV-8B Harrier II Wallpaper 4. The Harrier II Plus is capable of deploying the Sea Eagle anti-ship missile from MBDA (formerly Matra BAe Dynamics), which is a fire-and-forget, sea-skimming missile also carried on the Sea Harrier, and the air-launch version of Harpoon AGM-84 surface strike missile from Boeing. USMC Harriers are fitted with the 1,000lb Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM). AV-8B aircraft have been fitted with the Northrop Grumman Litening II targeting and reconnaissance pod. Litening II consists of a CCD TV camera for video reconnaissance and FLIR and laser spot tracker or rangefinder for targeting. These are to be replaced with the latest generation Litening Advanced Targeting pod. Sensors on the Harrier II Plus. The Harrier II Plus is equipped with the Raytheon APG-65 digital radar to provide day and night and adverse weather capability. AV-8B Harrier II Wallpaper 4. The APG-65 is a jam-resistant, all-weather detection and tracking radar. In the air-to-air role, the radar operates in search, track and combat modes. Long-range interception missions use the radar's long-range detection capability and, for the close-in air defense role, the radar uses rapid acquisition modes for the aircraft's 25mm cannon and heat-seeking missiles. In the air-to-surface role, the APG-65 radar provides high-resolution, long-range surface mapping and detection, and tracking of land-based and sea-based targets. The radar has the capability to locate small, fast patrol boats in high sea states and to detect large naval ships at long range. Avionics. The avionics suite of the Harrier II Plus is similar to that of the US Marine Corps' Night Attack AV-8B. It is equipped with a forward-looking infrared (FLIR) sensor, night-vision goggles (NVG) and an NVG-compatible cockpit. The image from the FLIR is projected on the wide-field-of-view, head-up display or on one of the multipurpose, head-down displays to provide night-time and reduced-visibility capability. Pegasus engine. The Pegasus engine 11-61 (F402-RR-408) from Rolls-Royce provides a high thrust-to-weight ratio and retains its performance in hot and high-altitude conditions.
