==Description==
The '''Harrier''' was initially commissioned by the [[Star League Defense Force]] in 2749 and was intended as a general-purpose support for [[BattleMech]] operations but would be more commonly used for cavalry and long-range reconnaissance.<ref name = "RG31">''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 31'', pp. 6–7</ref> As the Succession Wars ground on, the necessary scavenger habits of the Inner Sphere would strip many fusion powered tanks of their engines to provide spares for 'Mechs with the Harrier only escaping due to the rare [[Vlar 265]] which was primarily used in the civilian sector. The Harrier would cease production after the [[Free Worlds League]] captured [[Carver V]] in the mid-thirtieth century and [[Ingrid Liao]] refused to rebuild the production line. The Harrier would return after the [[Drillson]] sparked a renaissance in fusion powered hovercraft. It would make a significant return after the [[Federated Commonwealth]] captured Carver V during the [[Fourth Succession War]] as part of the FedComm fusion revival program which would culminate in the [[Fulcrum]] and [[Condor (Combat Vehicle)|Condor]].<ref name = "RG31"/>

==Armament==
The Harrier has a [[large laser]] as its primary weapon, backed up by an [[SRM-6]] launcher fed by one ton of ammunition. A single [[medium laser]] covers the rear arc of the vehicle.

==Variants==
*; Re-Laser : Modern Harriers are a product of [[Julian Davion]] and [[Devlin Stone]]'s alliance, with the First Prince leaving behind schematics for the [[Laser | Re-engineered Laser]] when he passed through the Fortress Wall in [[3146]].<ref name = "RG31"/> The [[Republic of the Sphere]] would rush through production and deployment of the technology. The Re-Laser variant mounts a single [[ChisComp 87]] [[Large Re-Engineered Laser]], a [[Streak SRM-6]], and a medium laser.<ref name = "RG31"/> The single ton of Streak ammunition is protected by a CASE bin and the Standard armor is replaced by [[Durallex Special Heavy Ferro-Fibrous]]. BV (2.0) = 958<ref name ="RG31"/>

*; PPC: This variant replaces the Lasers with a [[PPC]].<ref name = "RG31R"/> BV(2.0) = 859 <ref name = "RG31R"/>

<!--==Canonicity==
The Harrier first appeared in ''[[BattleTechnology]]'', which at the time was considered a source of canon for the BattleTech universe. However, ''BattleTechnology'' is no longer considered a source of canon by the current BattleTech developers, and as such, the Harrier can no longer be considered a canonical design.-->
