Harrier

TAV-8 Harrier

Armament:

• One fuselage-mounted 25 mm gun system
• Standard Air-to-Ground (A/G) load: Six Mk 82, 500 pound bombs
• Standard Air-to-Air (A/A) load: Four AIM-9L/M Sidewinder missiles
• Provisions for carrying up to 9,000 pounds of ordnance on seven stations

Mission and Capabilities:

• The AV-8B single seat Vertical/Short Takeoff and Land (V/STOL) aircraft is the primary close air support/intermediate range intercept/attack mission fixed-wing aircraft for the USMC and the Spanish and Italian navies.
• The AV-8B can carry and deliver an assortment of conventional stores such as the Mk 83 1,000 pound GP bomb, GBU-12 500 pound LGB, GBU-16 1,000 LGB, CBU-99/100 Cluster Bomb Units, and 2.75" and 5" rockets.
• The NA configuration includes: night vision goggle-compatible cockpit controls and displays, a wide-field-of-view HUD, a Navigation Forward Looking Infrared (NAVFLIR) system, a Digital Map Unit (DMU), and an Angle Rate Bombing System (ARBS) with laser spot tracker, which provides first pass day or night target strike capability at low altitude/high speed.
• The Radar aircraft retains all night attack capability but integrates the AN/APG-65 radar system to extend the tracking capabilities of the aircraft for A/G delivery and A/A defense modes.
• V/STOL capability allows the AV-8B to be deployed with ground units using amphibious shipping and/or forward basing for rapid close air support response.

Characteristics:

• Aircraft Length (feet) 46.33
• Aircraft Height (feet) 11.66
• Aircraft Wingspan (feet) 30.35
• Operating Weight Empty (pounds) 13,705
