I see they're using the AN/AAQ-33. I would surmise as a IRST of sorts?

Yup.  Eventually it will get replaced with the legion pod that’s actually a purpose built IRST.

Nice. At least it is not that huge balloon pod that Boeing is selling for the Superbug.

 

Actually, its the same electronics and optics by Lockheed-Martin.

The Navy wanted it packed into the front third of the centerline tank.

Well that will never become a dropped tank in the event of a dogfight......Foolish if you ask me...but I'm sure they have their reasons...like the angled pylons.
