The Hawk’s advanced airborne simulation includes sensors, weapons, radar, defensive aids, and countermeasures.

Airborne simulation technology facilitates sorties, including realistic air-to-ground scenarios to be programmed into Hawk’s on-board computers prior to take-off or in real-time.

The aircraft’s heads-up display and full-colour multi-functional displays are supported by the latest generation mission computers that can provide display data representative of the latest combat aircraft such as Typhoon and F-35, and the latest navigational aids such as a digital moving map, BAE stated.
