- The H.A.W.K surface-to-air missile was developed by Raytheon in the 1950s and used until 2002 by the US Marines. H.A.W.K was first tested at White Sands Missle Range and is still used by today by many countries. Thanks for watching this episode of Stories From Space!

Amazing. Was in various HAWK units from 73 to 78, conventional and I-HAWK. Never expected this system to be around that long.
As a former 16D the saying was "If it flies, it dies."
a pilot is flying when his radio crackles.
"this missile doesn't just know where it is. it also knows where you are and is approaching rapidly."
RWR begins shrieking.
I was one of the last 7222’s in Yuma 1998 1st LAAM A Btry 1st Plt. Playing in the sand with tarantulas and scorpions.
Beautiful
As a former 16E this was nice to see although I already knew this history ! 1990-1994 11th ADA BDE.
These were fun ! Except sitting in the Computer module , cold 🥶 . C/360 ADA
I grew up around hawk. And I always heard holiday and weekend killer and in german huete vier alas kaput "today everything is broken again"
My father was a HAWK radar tech for about 30 of his 40 years as a Raytheon employee working for the Army. He started right after he left the Navy in 1956. I have a lot of fond memories of HAWK. The first tracked vehicle I ever rode on was a a HAWK loader. I actually got to push the fire button on a launch at White Sands. (things were way different in the late 60's and early 70's) I also made a pencil and crayon drawing of a M727 that my dad gave to the Battalion Commander of the HAWK maintenance Unit on Redstone Arsenal. When I was about 8 or 9 I went to work with my dad and he stopped me at the office door of someone I didn't know and pointed at my picture on the wall. He eventually moved on to Patriot, but got drug back into HAWK for NOAH (Norwegian Adapted Hawk) for two years before finishing the rest of his time in Patriot.
Just curious, did your dada ever work with someone at Raytheon named Henry Vermette? He was my great-uncle, and he was in on the development of HAWK. I myself was a 24K10 and served at Wildflecken, Ger from 79 to late 80. Great MOS, but terrible people to serve with. Mostly grunts in charge and had no appreciation for the technical expertise and training. Back in my day, we already knew that we would be replaced by the Patriot System. In Wildflecken, we were housed in old former SS Elite mountain troops barracks. They were the last holdouts of WW2. They evaded detection by pulling trees over the roof tops. The roofs still had the hooks they used to pull the ropes tied to the trees.
@@joeanon5788 Not that he ever mentioned, however, my dad I do believe was in Wildflecken in around the `79 timeframe. Herman Mullins was his name. He had several instances of being TDY for 2 year stints in Germany, like 4 years the first time, 4 years the second time, and I think 1 additional time before I bounced into the world.
Yeah, my dad talked about GI's and the shortcuts they would take. He was unimpressed.
So in 1979 he was a Raytheon tech rep? and was he at HHB 1/1 DSP at Wildflecken ?? Thats where I was.@@harlech2
I do think he was still at Wildflecken in `79. He was a LAR (at least that was what it was called later on). His bosses were Raytheon but he was GS for the US Army., His name was Herman Daniel Mullins.
He must've been the 'rep' we all worked with. Mostly he did factory upgrades with the install of computers in the High Power Illuminator IHIPIR's. Great guy, we all looked up to his expertise. If he thought us Army guys were hacks its probably because we were always under the gun to deliver servicable chassis to the batteries, because the conditions were harsh and the radar's would go 'down' very often. I personally was a tracker1 and 2 specialist and had an over 90% success rate. At one time I was 3rd overall in USAREUR. I would bet that he was that guy. Cool. I can picture him in my mind.@@harlech2
I was in the dsp of the 6/517 ada in Giessen Ger from 69 to 72 it was around a long time good systems like hawk or b52s or hard to improve on.
i was stationed in MCAS Yuma, MOS 7222 hawk missile operator then to desert shield 2nd lam bn c btry ooh fing rah
I was stationed on Mae Bong Mountain Battery B 67-68... loaded and unloaded and preped the missiles for use. Ft. Bliss trained.
Why do military people like to say shit like this? Are you proud of loading missiles?
God bless America
And thank you for your service
@@bbbildhuu yes we damn sure are
@@bbbildhuu build more and more and more
The Marines had Stingers back in the 80s...
Hmm Marines going from hawk to stinger was a massive downgrade in capacity and range but an upgrade in portability and maneuverability. I wonder if they feel it was worth it. This is why its good that the govt is building enduring shield and created nasams plus apkws and mhtk is under development. The only options were super long range of shuper short range manpads. There should be plenty more to choose from in the future.
Ukraine putting it to good use now
