I think those might be the same Wide Band Homers as used on the Buccaneer and SeaVixen....odd to think their displayed on the same CRT as the radar though, as on both Bucc and SV its seperate smaller CRT unit.Likely its to assist interception on a bomber by homing onto its radar emissions, that covers X-band, and the others might be to avoid SAMs radars on warships or overland?Now Tony Butler makes reference to AWA considering an "unstable aircraft concept" for this type, which is to my knowledge the first reference I've seen to artificialy stabilised aircraft. Quite how they intended to do however is a good question for that time.
