Interesting. Maybe they should have shooted one Shrikes and after a while send another to the same direction and when the first missed and they think the air is clear and shut on radar - BOOOM 
I guess thats where the super expensive Stealth bombers pays off.

Correction:
When the harrier launchs the missile, it is lock already; but if the emissions disappear, the missile unlocks, falling away from the target.
That happened in 1982. I do not think that that can be possible with a weapon version 2006, because of the integrated GPS.
Also, those sytem can be used by radar and optics.
If you pay attention to the picture, you should see a lenses. These lenses have several capacities such as: infrared, zooming, etc.
So, you can fight without radar, and, or laying in the general data of a remote radar (early warning).
