The Sea Harrier FA2 (Fighter, Attack 2) was a highly upgraded variant of the original V/STOL (Vertical/Short Take-Off and Landing) jump jet, designed primarily for carrier-based fleet air defense for the British Royal Navy. Introduced in 1993, it featured advanced sensors and beyond-visual-range (BVR) weaponry that made it one of the most capable naval fighters of its era. 
 
Key Upgrades and Capabilities
The FA2 was developed based on lessons from the 1982 Falklands War, where the earlier FRS1 variant excelled in close-range combat but lacked long-range interception capabilities. 
 
Blue Vixen Radar: The most significant upgrade was the installation of the BAE Systems Blue Vixen pulse-Doppler radar. This all-weather radar provided look-down/shoot-down capability and could track multiple targets simultaneously.
AMRAAM Integration: The FA2 was the first UK aircraft to carry the AIM-120 AMRAAM. This combination of radar and missile allowed for BVR engagement, a massive leap over the Sidewinder-only capability of its predecessor.
Pegasus Mk 106 Engine: It was powered by the Rolls-Royce Pegasus 106 turbofan engine, which provided roughly 21,500 lbf of thrust and was optimized for better performance in hotter climates.
Improved Cockpit: The aircraft featured a "glass cockpit" with dual head-down displays (HDDs) and a modernized head-up display (HUD), streamlining the workload for its single pilot.
