Hi Andy,

The LRMTS was used to give the weapon aiming kit an accurate slant range, which allowed weapons to be dropped more accurately. These could be (as far as I remember) any of the weapons carried by the Harrier. The target seeker mode allowed a designated target to be highlighted in the HUD, so that the pilot could carry out the attack. I am sure that ex-fast jet will be able to give the definitive answer.
