'The AV-8B project was born in the early 1970''s as an effort to address
|
|
the operational inadequacies of the AV-8A first generation Harrier, aimed to dramatically
|
|
improve the capabilities and performance of the early AV-8A''s. The AV-8B made its
|
|
maiden flight in November 1981 and entered service with the United States Marine
|
|
Corps in January 1985. It later evolved into the AV-8B N/A (Night Attack) and AV-8B
|
|
Harrier II Plus.
|
|
|
|
|
|
First flight of a modified AV-8B in the night attack configuration was on June 26th,
|
|
1987. Deliveries to the USMC began in September of 1989 to VMA-214 at Yuma, Arizona.
|
|
Follow-up units based out of Yuma received their Night Attack AV-8Bs by the end
|
|
of 1992.The AV-8B N/A variant (originally known as the AV-8D) had its first operational
|
|
development in 1984 and included use of the NAVFLIR (Navigation Forward-Looking
|
|
Infrared camera, consisting of a GEC-Marconi FLIR system mounted in the nose) for
|
|
night operations. Additionally, GEC Cat''s Eyes night vision goggles were provided
|
|
to the pilot as well as a revised cockpit with color MFDs, a wider field-of-view
|
|
HUD display, a color CRT digital moving map, and a complete "heads-down" operation
|
|
capability. The AV-8B N/A also sports four Tracor ALE-39 countermeasures dispensers
|
|
along the top of the rear fuselage, in addition to two ALE-39 dispensers along the
|
|
lower rear of the fuselage. The AV-8B N/A also fields an updated version of the
|
|
Rolls-Royce Pegasus 11-61 (F402-RR-408) vectored-thrust turbofan engine.'
