Bevo,

Just to clarify, the Sea Harrier radar was better solely for BFM. It's advantage over the AESA was the search volumes and mechanisation, plus it had a better 'switchology to actual lock ratio'. The AESA was a world apart for everything else, in fact it wasn't really a radar - more like flying around with the 'Eye of Sauron' by your feet!
