Hawk MMS

I downloaded those the other day. I was flying a Mig 29 against an airfield and did not expect what happened next. 20 mm and chapparal were everywhere. They seemed to be fairly accurate in their aim too Great add ons!!!!!!!!

Looks great. Are the nose cones purple? The launchers are usually a little further away from the HIPIR. Also the USMC configuration is 2 launchers for 1 HIPIR.. NOt sure about the way the army did it.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,267462,00.html I have been to the johnson space center. just last september actually. something is in the water i guess...

WOW, I missed all this. It is only about an hour and a half from my town

Even though I am not mister super flanker lover I will say this... They have some of the coolest, most varied camo schemes around. I wish the US had more variety in its schemes.

Hawk batteries were spread out. From the BCP to each radar you tried to maximize the distance and use up all of the data cable length you had (350+ feet). from the HIPIR to the launcher box would be another cable length (350+). Then it went from the launcher box to the launchers. This is not from hawk but it shows what the bed loaded BCP looks like (same box just different antannaes). I think the one below is related to patriot systems.

I can't believe we have to wait so long for the next season. I have been a fan since the pilot a couple of years back. Is there a sim coming out for it?

THANKS You have helped my WOE get that much cooler. I am going to have to attempt a skin project in the future. What programs do you guys use?

The history channel and a Modern marvels doc that showed the osprey, ch-47 and some other "mega movers" on as they called them. The osprey looks good. Seems they have figured it out.

At least I am no the only other bored one out there! These past 2 days have dragged out at work. I can't wait for 1400.

I am fairly new to the board and to WOE. I hadn't picked up a flight sim since the USNF/ATF/FA series. AWACS... I know there is an E-2 for download but, do these systems work? Can you fly in an silent emcon state and receive track data? I liked the fact that in FA you could fly silent and still have awareness if you had an E-3 up.

Gramps posted it here http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?automodule=downloads&showfile=4549 Thanks!!! It looks great. I have the model and the skin. Cool

Thank you for removing them from the site. I had not noticed the copyright as the power point did not show the bottom of the pic. It was not visible when copied because it was covered in the power point by a red/blue Russian Air Show border.

Too bad the F-14 is no longer. It would have made that picture cooler than it already is. great pic.

The Marines used Hawk in support of the MAGTF (Marine Air Ground task Force). We were never stationary, always leap frogging units to provide continuos coverage. The CWAR receives first terrain priority to provide for better target acquisition. We often would receive track data from other sources via data link and not radiate in order to not give away location. Below is a fact file but, is not completely accurate. Primary function: To provide surface-to-air missile defense. Manufacturer: Raytheon Corporation Power plant: Solid propellant rocket motor Propulsion: Solid propellant rocket motor Length: 12.5 feet (3.81 meters) Diameter: 13.5 inches (3.84 centimeters) Height: 13.5 inches (3.84 centimeters) Weight: 1400 pounds (635 kilograms) Weight fully armed: 1400 pounds (635 kilograms) Range: 14.9 miles (24 kilometers) (we have engaged drones at greater distance) Ceiling: 30,000 feet (9.14 kilometers) Speed: Supersonic Aircraft: Transported by C-130/C-141/C-5 and heavy lift helo (extended load) Units: 2 active duty and 1 reserve Light Anti-aircraft Missile Battalion Crew: Officer: 2 Enlisted: 49 (prior to 1996) Guidance system: Radar directed semi-active homing Warheads: One 300 pound (136.2 kg) high explosive missile. Type of fire: Operator directed/automatic modes Magazine capacity: 48 missiles/battery Missile guidance: Semi-active homing. Target detection: Continuous wave radar and pulse acquisition radars. Target tracking: High power illuminating continuous wave radar and passive optical. Rate of fire: 1 missile every 3 seconds Sensors: High power continuous wave radar (HIPIR) Continuous wave acquisition radar (CWAR) Pulse Acquisition Radar (PAR)(removed from service early 90's when it was determined there was no high alt threat) and passive optical scan Introduction date: 1962 Unit Replacement Cost: $25,000,000.00 Mission: To provide surface-to-air missile defense of assigned areas of operation or installations therein, against low and medium air attack. Features: The system can be divided into three sections: acquisition, fire control, and firing sections. Target detection is provided to the fire control section from pulse and continuous wave radars for engagement evaluation. Target data can also be received from remote sensors via data link. The fire control section locks onto the target with high-powered tracking radar. A missile or missiles can be launched manually or in an automatic mode from the firing section by the fire control section. Radars and missile have extensive electronic counter counter measures (ECCM) capabilities.

THE BCP Battery Command Post The IFF antannae rotates on top.

The BCP Battery Command Post was a small trailer box that had an IFF antennae on it the tactical officer and 2 radar operators in it plus a comm guy usually. I will see if i have any pics at home. We would even bed load it on the back of a 5 ton truck some times.

Probably very hard... Well, at least for me

I am trying to attach the layout drawing i did. I know it is basic but, it may help.

This is a generic layout of a battery. A battery consists of 1 BCP (Battery Command Post), 1 CWAR (Continuos Wave Acquisition Radar), 1 PAR (Pulse Acquisition Radar Pre-1993), 2 HIPIR (High Power Illumination Radar), 4 launchers and other items such as generators. Post 1994 things start to change culminating in Excercise Mountain Top which changes everything. I could explain that some other time. This crude layout was done quickly at work today.

Very Cool! You do good work. I'll be on the look out for it. SEMPER FI

You get the order and you get in and fly. At least it is faster and quieter than any other means of vertical insertion. Besides, Everyone is a critic these days. WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The military's controversial V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft will head to Iraq for its first combat tour later this year, Marine officials announced Friday. After 18 years and $20 billion in development, the plane will deploy to western Iraq in September to support Marine Corps combat operations for seven months, Marine officials said. The plane, which is intended to replace the Corps' 40-year-old fleet of CH-46 helicopters by 2018, can fly like a plane and land like a helicopter, giving the Marines more flexibility in the field, officials said. The V-22 can carry troops three times as far, twice as fast and has six to seven times more survivability than the CH-46 widely used now in Iraq, the military says. The Osprey's performance has also been noticed by the Air Force, which has plans to use it as a special operations aircraft. The aircraft has been redesigned after two fatal accidents in 2000 that killed 23 Marines. Accidents in 1991 and 1992 killed seven other people, but Marines say the plane's problems are in the past. "It's been through extensive operational testing and evaluation, and it is our fervent feeling that this aircraft is the most capable, survivable aircraft that we carry our most important weapon system in, which is the Marine or rifleman, and that we will successfully introduce this aircraft in combat," said Lt. Gen. John G. Castellaw, deputy commandant for aviation. Critics say the tilt-rotor design may still be too unsafe for the complexities of flying in combat operations. The Marine Corps maintains it is a much more controllable aircraft in those situations. Since 2003, the Marines have lost seven aircraft in combat operations. The Marine Corps says the V-22 can better avoid being shot down because it can fly higher than the missiles that have been targeting helicopters. In addition, people on the ground cannot hear the aircraft approaching, giving insurgents less time to prepare to shoot as it flies at low altitude. "I flown the V-22, and I have taken it and used it in a tactical manner," Castellaw said. "The ability to maneuver this aircraft is far in excess of what we have with the existing helicopters."

The right hand Su would be a cool skin!!! Hint Hint. (not that i can do it but you guys could for sure ) The funny thing is i am not even a Flanker fan (as some may know) but, I like that scheme.

THANKS I WILL LOOK FOR IT

I know this would be just one other thing for the modders of this community but, a Hawk battery would be cool.
