Folks,
Quick question, I was reading the Wiki entry for the HAWK SAM systems and came across the following
Silent Hawk: A former "black program" from the 1990s that hid special Hawk missiles with passive sensors within select US Army Hawk batteries deployed in Europe. Most of the soldiers, except a small group in each unit, were completely unaware of the special equipment which included a special separate sensor disguised as a load bank on heavy generators, firing displays and power generation equipment that made it all work.
Has anyone stumbled across any other information regarding this weapon ? I have tried Google searching and all I get is links about the Stealth MH-60s?
I wonder if it was a similar weapon to the Patriot with Home on Jam ECCM?
I'm also curious as to its target, airborne or ground borne emitters.
Regards
Butch
