The BAe (British Aerospace) Harrier GR Mk.3 is a V/STOL attack aircraft of the Royal Air Force. V/STOL stands for vertical/short takeoff and landing, and refers to an aircraft that can take off and land vertically or in a short distance. The Harrier GR Mk.3 has more engine power than the earlier GR Mk.1, and is equipped with a laser range finder and target designator (a device that uses laser reflection to precisely measure the distance and position of a target and displays it in the cockpit) on the nose to improve attack accuracy. As the Harrier is a V/STOL aircraft, it does not require a long runway and can be operated from frontline bases without support facilities.
