The Ferranti Blue Fox was a British multi-role airborne radar designed and built for the Royal Navy by Ferranti Defence Systems in the late 1970s.[1]
Design and development
The Blue Fox was a lightweight frequency agile I band airborne radar designed for use on the British Aerospace Sea Harrier FRS.1, with two roles, airborne interception and air-to-surface search and strike. The radar was modular with a flat aperture slotted-array antenna.[1]
Three two-seat Hawker Hunters were also fitted with Blue Fox radars for Royal Navy Sea Harrier pilot training, designated Hunter T.8M.[2]
