The U.S. Army Hawk missile is a versatile weapon designed to defend against enemy attackers flying at low altitudes. It is relatively small and highly mobile, capable of being moved by highway, small trucks, helicopters, or fixed-wing aircraft. The missile can be operated at fixed installations in the U.S. or with fast-moving Army forces in the field. The Raytheon Manufacturing Co. is the prime contractor for the Hawk missile.
