Improved Hawk or I-Hawk. The original Hawk system had problems engaging targets at low altitude-the missile would have problems picking the target out against ground clutter. The US army began a program to address these issues in 1964-the Hawk Improvement Program(Hawk/HIP). 2, record 2, English, - HAWK%20Improvement%20Program
