Harriers in Afghanistan are providing even more effective close air support following the introduction of the BAES integrated Lockheed Martin Sniper pod targeting system which utilises laser, optical and infra-red sensors.
    The MoD has awarded BAES a £34 million contract to provide supply chain support for Harrier GR9 avionic equipment until 2014. Known as the Harrier Component Support Package (HCSP), the contract supports seven major avionic equipments and the continued supply of more than 4,000 other components.
