I think that are some kind of explosive Charge that will crack the​ Canopy before the Seat can eject.

Yeah it's DetCord. It shatters the canopy so you can eject. It's faster and lighter than having the whole canopy blow away, and since the harrier can theoretically be hovering at zero speed ten feet off the ground, speed of ejection is key.

Has anything been dropped about a campaign for this baby?

 

This is the latest info:

 

We're still discussing it, but from the quality / work involvement point of view, the training would most probably come free with the module (but it would be done in a form of campaign, though a bit limited - so with a story line and characters). The full combat campaign would be a DLC most probably.

What are the wires on the top of the canopy for?

 

As others have explained, I hadn't ever really thought about it until I watched a really interesting documentary on TV about things designed to fail ( metal road barriers, fuses, etc )

 

In amongst the other items they showed a really interesting bit about the ejection process and by engineering the "failure" of the glass prevented injuries/death, I thought at the time "hmmm, yeah that makes sense!" LOL.

Need to change underwear,... Again!

These Videos are no good for my heart. Pulse rate goes beyond what's healthy and the urge to fly it is overwhelming. :D

The seat in the harrier is an offshoot of the Martin Baker mk10 seat with 0 0 capability, basically 0 speed 0 ft and at all attitudes relative to the height that is, with 0 speed there is no airflow to force the canopy up and to the rear. Thus the use of the MDC, from pulling the handle to the pilot hanging on his parachute 300 ft higher than the aircraft takes 1.5 seconds. The exception to this rule is if the pilot/seat is inverted or higher than 10,000 ft where the pilot remains with the seat on its emergency oxygen supply. The pilot does have a facility to manually separate from the seat if the point of ejection is in mountainous terrain higher than 10,000 ft.

Older jets that don't have MDC rely on one of 2 methods to scatter the glass/Perspex a spigot fitted to the top of the ejection seat or a steel rod that is fired upwards prior to the main seat gun igniting. 9the harrier uses this method also but attached to the steel rod is the stabilising parachute that 1 stabilises the seat and pulls the main parachute out of the head box.
