Will the HARM get an "In Range" indicator ?

Not sure if this has been asked before, but the AGM-88D doesn't give you a clue if you are in firing range. No idea how this is in RL, but it should be on the whishlist nevertheless

Rough rule of thumb: if HARM TOO TD box is at 9° below the horizon then the range in nm = your altitude in 1,000s of feet.

 

E.g.:

 

Angels 20, range = 20nm (depression angle  9°)

Angels 25, range = 25nm (depression angle  9°)

Angels 30, range = 30nm (depression angle  9°)

 

If the depression Angle is <9° the target is further away than the corresponding altitude/1000

If the depression Angle is >9° the target is closer than the corresponding altitude/1000

The HARM Pre-Briefed (PB) mode will provide range-informed guidance, yes. It has similar basic symbology to AUTO mode for conventional/laser guided bombs, with a release cue and azimuth steering line, among other functions.
