Tthe 영국 항공 우주 해리어 II 이전에 왕립 공군 (RAF)과 2006 년에서 2010 년 사이에 왕립 해군 (RN)이 사용했던 2 세대 수직 / 단거리 이륙 및 착륙 (V / STOL) 제트 항공기입니다. 이 항공기는 해리어 점프 제트 제품군의 최신 개발이었으며 McDonnell Douglas AV-8B Harrier II에서 파생되었습니다. Harrier II의 초기 배송은 Harrier GR5로 지정되었습니다. 이후 업그레이드된 기체는 GR7 및 GR9로 재지정되었다.

General Characteristics and Role
The British Aerospace Harrier GR.9 was a major upgrade of the earlier GR.7 model, serving as the final ground-attack/reconnaissance variant of the **second-generation Harrier II family** (a development of the original Hawker Siddeley Harrier). The GR.9 was specifically designed for Vertical/Short Take-Off and Landing (V/STOL) operations, allowing it to operate from small clearings, roads, or the decks of aircraft carriers without a catapult. Its primary role was close air support (CAS) and battlefield interdiction. The upgrade focused on improved avionics, greater precision strike capability (including the integration of modern smart weapons), and a more powerful engine to cope with increased weapon loads. The Harrier GR.9 served with the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the Royal Navy (RN) until the type’s retirement in 2010.

| Service Entry (GR.9) | 2006 |
| 승무원 | 1 (Pilot) |
| 길이 | 14.12 m (46 ft 4 in) |
| 윙스 팬 | 9.25 m (30 ft 4 in) |
| 높이 | 3.56 m (11 ft 8 in) |

Powerplant and V/STOL System
- Engine: 1 x Rolls-Royce Pegasus Mk. 107 vectored-thrust turbofan.
- Max Thrust: Approximately 105.87 kN (23,800 lbf).
- Maximum Speed: 1,065 km/h (662 mph; 575 kn) (Mach 0.87) at sea level.
- Operational Range: Approximately 3,300 km (2,000 mi) with external fuel tanks.
- V/STOL Principle: Thrust is directed through four rotating nozzles (two hot exhaust, two cold bypass air) located around the aircraft’s center of gravity. This allows the thrust to be directed downward for vertical flight or rearward for horizontal flight.
Armament and Avionics
- Hardpoints: 7 external stations for weapons and fuel.
- Primary Armament: Often included Paveway II/III laser-guided bombs, Enhanced Paveway II/III GPS-guided bombs, AGM-65 Maverick air-to-ground missiles, and CRV7 rocket pods.
- Avionics: Upgraded navigation and weapon systems, including the integration of GPS/INS for all-weather precision attack and a new digital cockpit architecture.
- Self-Defense: Equipped with defensive aids systems (DAS) including radar warning receivers and chaff/flare dispensers.
