American surface-to-air missile. The Hawk was the first mobile medium-range guided anti-aircraft missile deployed by the U.S. Army, and was the oldest SAM system still in use by U.S. armed forces in the late 1990s. Surplus Hawk motors, dubbed Orion, formed the basis for many sounding rockets and test vehicles.
The Hawk was the first mobile medium-range guided anti-aircraft missile deployed by the U.S. Army, and remains in service around the world. Development studies began in 1952 as the SAM-A-18 HAWK (Homing All the Way Killer). July 1954 development contracts were awarded to Raytheon and Northrop. First launch was in June 1956, with the system going into operation in August 1959. Hawk was also used by the U.S. Marine Corps units, many NATO and other countries, and license-built in Europe and Japan. The single-stage missile was powered by an Aerojet General M22E8 dual-thrust (boost-sustain) solid-propellant motor, controlled in flight by large triangular fins with trailing-edge control surfaces. The 54 kg (119 lb) high-explosive warhead was ignited by radar proximity fuses. The missile was guided by an X-band continuous wave semi-active radar seeker, with an effective engagement range of 2-25 km (1.25-15 miles). A Hawk unit uses the AN-MPQ-35 C-band PAR (Pulse Acquisition Radar) for high-medium-altitude threat detection, the AN-MPQ-34 CWAR (Continuous Wave Acquisition Radar) for low-level threat detection, the AN-MPQ-33 (or -39) HPI (High-Power Illuminator) which tracks designated targets and provides target illumination for the missile's seeker, and the AN-MPQ-37 ROR (Range Only Radar) which is a K-band pulse radar to provide ranging data when the other radars are jammed by countermeasures. The Hawk missiles are transported and launched from M192 triple-missile towed launchers
To counter advanced low-altitude threats, the Army began a I-Hawk (Improved Hawk) program began in 1964. Digital electronics were used throughout the system, with the AN-MPQ-50, AN-MPQ-48, AN-MPQ-46, and AN-MPQ-51 radars replacing the earlier models. The I-Hawk had a larger 74 kg (163 lb) warhead, improved guidance, and a new M112 rocket motor. Overall performance increased to an engagement range of 1.5-40 km (5000 ft - 25 miles) for high altitude targets, 2.5-20 km (8200 ft - 12.4 miles) at low altitude; and minimum engagement altitude of 60 m (200 ft). It replaced earlier Hawk models in the US Army in 1971-1978.
Continuous improvements of the I-Hawk began in 1977 under the Hawk Product Improvement Plan. Over the decades this continuously replaced the radars and electronics with updated technology. PIP Phase I systems were fielded in 1979; PIP Phase II from 1983 added an electro-optical tracking system to allow operation in a high-ECM environment. The PIP Phase III was fielded in 1989 and allowed the Hawk system to counter saturation attacks by simultaneously intercepting multiple low-level targets.
In 1991-1994 Hawk demonstrated its capability against short-range ballistic missiles. However in 1994-1999 the US military services replaced Hawk with Patriot and Stinger missiles. Including foreign production, more than 40,000 MIM-23 Hawk missiles of all versions were built.
Initial Operational Capability: 1959.

- HJ Orion American sounding rocket. Two stage vehicle consisting of 1 x M-6 + 1 x Orion
- Improved Orion American sounding rocket. Unguided solid propellant single stage rocket using a military surplus M112 Hawk rocket motor. The motor was a dual thrust burner with a boost phase of 5 seconds and a sustainer phase of approximately 21 seconds. The rocket accelerated the payload then for 26 seconds with peak acceleration during the boost phase of 21g. A payload mass of 100 kg could be carried to an apogee of approximately 110 km.

Nike Orion American sounding rocket. Two stage vehicle. Payload 68 kg to 190 km or 204 kg to 90 km. The Nike motor had three equally spaced unmodified Ajax fins, and the Orion motor had four fins on the aft end arranged in a cruciform configuration to provide stability. The first stage Nike booster had an action time of 3.2 seconds. The second stage ignited 9 seconds after liftoff and had an action time of 32 seconds. Capability 68 kg payload to 190 kilometers or a 204 kg payload to 90 kilometers when launched from sea level at an 85 degree launch angle.- Orion engine Aerojet dual-thrust (boost-sustain) solid rocket engine, originally designed for the Hawk surface-to-air missile. Surplus motors were used in sounding rockets.
Orion sounding rocket American sounding rocket. The Orion was a single stage, unguided, fin stabilized rocket system which used a surplus US Army Hawk surface-to-air-missile rocket motor having a dual thrust propellant grain. Three fins on the aft end of the motor were canted to roll the vehicle at four revolutions per second at burnout for stability. Improved performance could be obtained by using a Nike booster stage. Payload 38 kg to 88 km or 68 kg to 71 km.- Taurus Orion American sounding rocket. 2 stage vehicle composed of 1 x Taurus (Honest John motor) + 1 x Orion. Payload 68 kg to 260 km or 227 kg to 140 km.
- Terrier Improved Orion Two stage vehicle consisting of 1 x Terrier + 1 x Improved Orion
- Terrier Mk 70 Orion American sounding rocket.
Terrier Orion American two-stage, spin-stabilized sounding rocket. It used a Terrier Mk 12 Mod 1 engine for its first stage and an improved Orion motor for its second stage. The Terrier-Orion could loft payloads weighing up to 290 kilograms to altitudes up to 190 kilometers.

Nation: Australia.
Agency: UQU.
Apogee: 100 km (60 mi).
First launch attempt in the HyShot Flight Program. The scramjet payload was to be used to verify pressure measurements made of supersonic combustion in The University of Queensland's T4 shock tunnel by those made in an actual flight. A failure of stabilising fins meant that the rocket fell far short of the planned 330-km apogee and the scramjet experiment was not conducted.

Apogee: 314 km (195 mi).
In the second launch of the HyShot program, the Terrier-Orion Mk70 rocket boosted the payload, which remain attached to the second stage Orion motor, toward a planned apogee of 330 km. After peaking at 314 km, the trajectory was designed so that the payload was moving at Mach 7.6 between 35 km and 23 km on the way down, at which point the measurements of supersonic combustion were made. This was claimed to be the first successful test of a scramjet in flight.

The 100-kg test British-design scramjet engine was boosted to an altitude of 314 km during a 10-minute flight. It and the attached second stage then were re-oriented to point back to the Earth. The scramjet was successfully ignited at a speed of Mach 8 in the tiny six-second window of opportunity shortly before impact.

A repeat of the test four days earlier, this time with a Japanese-designed scramjet. The nosecone of the rocket failed to jettison and therefore scramjet ignition was not achieved. The scramjet and second stage remains were located in the desert and recovered after only 20 minutes of searching.
