Interesting snippet from AW&ST. One hopes it is intended to upgraded/replaced before the trials are completed.....

”To perform the first SRVL landings, Wilson flew several SRVL approaches that were waved off at 500, 350 and 150 ft., allowing him to fly the approach to the stern using the SRVL array—a glidepath alignment cue also known as the Bedford Array—that when combined with a ship reference velocity vector in a helmet-mounted display enables pilots to fly an accurate glidepath. However, the Queen Elizabeth is yet to be fitted with the gyro-stabilized version of this system.

The second ship, HMS Prince of Wales, will have it fitted from launch.”.........
