A.  DESCRIPTION:  THE LAUNCHER/TRANSPORT GUIDED MISSILE (HAWK) IS A
THREE RAILED HAWK MISSILE LAUNCHER UTILIZED TO FIRE ASSEMBLED G.M.
(HAWK) MISSILES, TO STORE AND TRANSPORT 3 EACH, G.M. (HAWK) MISSILES,
THE MISSILES ARE TRANSPORTED BY THE G.M. HAWK MISSILE LAUNCHER BY
INDEXING THE LAUNCHER WITH THE HAWK LOADER/TRANSPORTER AND
TRANSFERING THE MISSILES BOTH ON THE GROUND AND LOADING THE G.M.
(HAWK) MISSILES ON THE TRUCK CARGO 5-TON 6X6 THAT IS THE PRIME MOVER.
THE G.M. (HAWK) LAUNCHER WEIGHS (4,610 LB)/(2,091KG) LESS THE
MISSILES, WEIGHT WITH MISSILES IS (8,813 LB)/(3,998 KG), THE
DIMENSIONS: LENGTH (LESS MISSILES) (14 FT, 4 IN)/(4.4 METERS) MARCH
ORDER, WIDTH (LESS MISSILES) (8 FT.)/(2.4 METERS), MARCH ORDER HEIGHT
(LESS MISSILES) (7 FT, 8 IN)/(2.3 METERS), MARCH ORDER, FULL
ELEVATION (12 FT.)/(3.7 METERS), MAXIMUM FORDING DEPTH (30 IN.)/  (76
CM), MAXIMUM EMPLACEMENT SLOPE IS (10 DEGREES).

B. CAPABILITIES: THE G.M. HAWK LAUNCHER ALLOWS THE HAWK MISSILES TO
BE EMPLOYED IN POSITIONS THAT WILL PROVIDE APPROXIMATELY TWO THIRDS
OF THE G.M. HAWK MISSILES EFFECTIVE KILL RANGE TO PROVIDE EFFECTIVE
AIR DEFENSE COVERAGE TO ALLOW THE MANEUVER FORCES THE FLEXIBILITY,
MANEUVERABILITY AND SURVIVABILITY TO COMPLETE THEIR MISSIONS.  WITH
OUT THE G.M. HAWK LAUNCHER THE G.M. HAWK MISSILE CANNOT BE FIRED OR
TRANSPORTED TO THE EMPLOYMENT POSITIONS REQUIRED TO PROVIDE EFFECTIVE
AIR DEFENSE COVERAGE.

C. EMPLOYMENT: THE G.M. HAWK MISSILE LAUNCHER IS EMPLOYED 3 EACH PER
FIRING SECTION WITH A SPARE LAUNCHER THAT IS ALSO EMPLOYED WITH THE
FIRING SECTION.

D. BASIS OF ISSUE: ONE (1) EACH FOR ONE (1) EACH REPLACEMENT FOR LIN
L45757.

E. POWER REQUIREMENTS: REQUIRES 3 PHASE, 416VAC 400 HERTZ POWER.

F. TRANSPORTATION REQUIREMENTS: TRUCK CARGO: 5-TON 6X6 IS THE PRIME
MOVER FOR THE LAUNCHER/TRANSPORTER G.M. HAWK.

G. PERSONNEL/MAINTENANCE IMPACTS:

   (1) OPERATOR.

       (A) CREW SIZE 3 MOS 14D.

       (B) TRAINING IMPACT REQUIREMENTS: 14D TRAINED AS HAWK PHASE
III OPERATORS.

   (2) MAINTAINERS:

       (A) UNIT-LEVEL MAINTENANCE:
