For those who missed the reference to the 'overfly' piece, the reference was a hint that todays offensive aircraft fly with PGMs, where the 'smart' weapon does the dirty whilst the delivery platform does the avoiding of the TGT. ie Dumb Bombs are for the application air weapons range - PW2/PW3/EPW/PW4 etc would be the way forward to the SHAR, as long as you gave the jet the software to manage it, and / or integrate a suitable pod to generate co-ords etc.
Kachingggg $$$$$$ - BAE systems enter here.
At the end of the day, the SHAR was great for its prime job - Carrier Air Defence. ie send a carrier with an embarked aircraft to defend itself. Take the carrier away, and it doesn't need defending.
How good was SHAR's 'Bring-Back' capability (not every CAS mission actually drops)?
The reference to the Gun (can be considered 'precise' from GR-4) and CRV-7 - they are not the PRIME weapon for the specified aircraft, but good to have on-board, If I recollect recent events, both the GR-4 and GR-7 primarily deliver PGMs in recent history
....and if someone wants to take up the Typhoon gun piece, move it to another thread...
