First entering service with the US Army in 1960, the HAWK (Homing All the Way Killer) SAM system has gone through so many improvement programs that little of the original systems remain in the current-generation IHAWK. The M192 Launcher itself is little more than a towed IHAWK rack, lacking any sensors, and receiving all target information from other battery resources. A typical IHAWK battery includes a command post, an acquisition radar, a tracking radar, and three IHAWK launchers.%n
