About This File
GEC Marconi (now Selex-Galileo) TIALD is a second-generation laser designator pod, which initially entered service when it was still in the development stage in the Gulf War in 1991. The success of precision-guided weapons during the War showed there was a greater emphasis on the need to employ such weapons, which led to a requirement for more TIALD pods and for them to be used on a number of different aircraft platforms. The current 400-Series pod is flown on Tornado, Harrier and Jaguar ground-attack aircraft.
This TIALD designator pod is for generic use. With the Harrier GR7 I suggest you to use the one provided in the airplane pack, which has a dedicated pylon.
