Not a clue about any of this but I’m very impressed and know talent and skills when I see it. Good job.

Yeah….12 months worth. Then my last year in the Army in 1979-80 I spent there teaching. Then off to Saudi for 21 years working for Raytheon on HAWK and PATRIOT program. Got to come back to states every year during those 21 years for a lot of updates on the systems. My last school was for 7 months on latest updates on PATRIOT system in 2000-2001. But that was it….had to retire early due to some medical issues. Am amazed everyday by something that shows me how fast it all is advancing. But Ohms law never changes…and Boolean logic is the same…LOL

I am familiar with the HAWK. I was R&R in Okinawa from Vietnam. My brother was a HAWK specialist. Spent a couple nights in a HAWK bunker. Biggest radar screen I ever seen in my life. Also worked on KD2 drones and Regulus II missiles. Don't remember much about them. NAVY used them for target practice. Navy big guns could bring the KD down but they had to call in the F8 fighters to bring the Regulus down. I was at Point Mugu Missile Center at that time.

Just don’t get your boat up to 88 mph with the flux capacitor on.

I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express once, and I'm still impressed. I am clueless to it's function or purpose, but still impressed.

You would find this interesting. In the 80,s they upgraded the HAWK to digital. Before, the High Powered Illuminator Radar had 155 adjustments on it, and it took about 8 hours to do the weekly check. After it was digitized there were only 5 adjustments, and the weekly checks took all of 15 minutes. Quite an upgrade.
