Abstract

THE operational role of the Harrier requires the installation of a comprehensive range of communications and radio navigation aid equipment. VHF/UHF equipment is required for airfield and enroute communications and for liaison with other aircraft. Tac/VHF equipment is required for liaison purposes with land vehicles, and forward command posts, while HF equipment is needed for long range air to ground, or ground to ground communications with rear command areas during cab rank operation. TACAN installation is required to provide short range navigation information derived from a ground station or airborne tanker aircraft, and this data can be used to supplement the Inertial Navigation and Attack System (INAS) moving map display or as a self contained aid. IFF equipment is needed for identification purposes.
