harrier, breed of medium-sized hound hound, classification used by breeders and kennel clubs to designate dogs bred to hunt animals.
The harrier was originally and still is used in packs to hunt hares.
harrier, bird: see hawkhawk, name generally applied to the smaller members of the Accipitridae, a heterogeneous family of diurnal birds of prey, such as the eagle, the kite, the Old World vulture, and the secretary bird.
The Harrier continues to serve today as the Harrier GR7 and GR9 and AV-8B which are built by BAE Systems and Boeing.
The Harrier GR Mk.1 was the first production model of the Kestrel, it first flew on December 28, 1967, and entered service with the RAF on April 1, 1969.
The later model Harriers are easily distinguished by their extended wingspan, the wings extending beyond the outrigger wheels that are at the wingtips of the earlier versions (including Kestrel prototypes and the Sea Harrier).
