![]() The ROR was phased out in Phase III Hawk units. LASHE allows the Hawk system to counter saturation attacks by simultaneously intercepting multiple low-level targets. Phase III was a major upgrade which significantly enhanced the computer hardware and software for most components of the system, a new CWAR the AN/MPQ-62, added single-scan target detection capability, and upgraded the HPI to AN/MPQ-61 standard by addition of a Low-Altitude Simultaneous Hawk Engagement (LASHE) system. Phase III The PIP Phase III development was started in 1983, and was first fielded by U.The TAS, designated OD-179/TVY, is an electro-optical (TV) tracking system that increases Hawk operability and survivability in a high-ECM environment. upgraded the AN/MPQ-46 HPI to AN/MPQ-57 standard by replacing some of the vacuum tube based electronics with modern solid-state circuits, and added an optical TAS (Tracking Adjunct System). ![]() Phase II Developed from 1978 and fielded between 19.The first PIP Phase I systems were fielded between 19. Phase I Phase I involved replacement of the CWAR with the AN/MPQ-55 Improved CWAR (ICWAR), and the upgrade of the AN/MPQ-50 PAR to Improved PAR (IPAR) configuration by the addition of a digital MTI (Moving Target Indicator).In 1973 the US Army started an extensive multi-phase Hawk PIP (Product Improvement Plan), mainly intended to improve and upgrade the numerous items of ground equipment. All US units were upgraded to I-Hawk standard by 1978. The system entered service during 1972, the first unit reaching operational status by October. ![]()
