Will the Viggen have terrain following radar and autopilot like the F-111/B-1?

Also what is the extent of it's air to air capability, can it do BVR combat or is it limited to short range missiles?

 

And even more, will the Interceptor variant be introduced at a later stage?

My understanding of the radar is that is TAR (Terrain Avoidance Radar) where the pilot needs to manually fly the aircraft rather than it being a TFR where it is automatic (such as the F-111).

The AJS37 variant, the one LNS is making for DCS, does not have terrain following autopilot. The radar provides terrain collision alerts though.

It does not have BVR combat ability. It can carry 6 sidewinders or gun pods and even use a remote controlled missile on air targets (presumably large or slow, air targets).

Explain remote controlled missiles please
