The '''AV-22 Sparrowhawk''', formally known as the '''AV-22 Attack VTOL'''{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}, but often simply nicknamed the '''Hawk''', is a [[VTOL]] attack aircraft in service with the [[United Nations Space Command]].  
The '''Hawk''' is a [[United Nations Space Command]] [[VTOL]] aerial support aerodyne that appears in [[Halo Wars]].


== History ==
==Overview==
The Hawk is a formidable air-to-ground anti-tank [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft#Heavier_than_air.E2.80.94aerodynes aerodyne]. It is used by the UNSC in a support and anti-armor role to hunt tanks and support advances.<ref>http://www.halowars.com/forums/thread/45018.aspx</ref> Developed during the early years of the [[Human-Covenant War]], it first saw action on [[Harvest]] during the end months of the [[Second Battle of Harvest]]. Problems with its ducted fan propulsion system made its adoption status uncertain, though it was used during at least 2531.
===Design details===
The AV-22 Sparrowhawk is a formidable air-to-ground anti-tank [[Wikipedia:Aircraft#Heavier-than-air – aerodynes|aerodyne]] that is used to hunt tanks and support ground advances.<ref>[http://www.halowars.com/forums/thread/45018.aspx '''Halo Wars Official Site''': ''Halo Wars Update 03.12.07'']</ref>  


==Appearance==
The Sparrowhawk features a two-seat cockpit with tandem seating for a pilot and gunner, and cyberlink-compatible fly-by-light avionics.{{Ref/Reuse|deep links}} Rather than using thrust-vectoring jets like some aircraft of the [[United Nations Space Command]], the AV-22 features an integrated [[VTOL]] propulsion system that combines a turbojet with dual-ducted lift fans,{{Ref/Reuse|deep links}} which gives it a maximum airspeed of 611 kilometers per hour (380 miles per hour){{Ref/Reuse|airspeed}} and impressive maneuverability.  
The Hawk has design elements from a mixture of modern VTOL aircraft, most prominently the Harrier Jump-Jet, and attack helicopter gunships such as the AH-64 Apache and the AH-1 Cobra. It also bears a marked resemblance to the [[Hornet]] gunship in ''[[Halo 3]]'' and bears similarities to the deleted [[Kestrel]] from other versions. It consists of an elongated fuselage with stubby wings on each side of it.


The cockpit is forward mounted, and the tail section juts out from behind the fuselage at a downward angle. Each wing incorporates a [[Wikipedia:Ducted Fan|Ducted Air Fan]] for lift and thrust, and carries three missiles/rockets on pylons on each wing. Each wing also carries a twin auto-cannon, with a dual auto-cannon mounted underneath the cockpit.
The Sparrowhawk shares a number of design similarities with its fellow aerodyne brethren such as the [[AV-14 Hornet]], [[AV-19 SkyHawk]], [[AV-30 Kestrel]], and [[AV-49 Wasp]],{{Ref/Reuse|deep links}} however while classified as an "Attack VTOL", some branches of the [[United Nations Space Command]] armed forces classify the aircraft as a gunship due to its heavy armament.  


== Performance ==
===Armaments===
{{Quote|Hawk, ready to fly!|Anonymous Hawk Pilot}}
The VTOL's primary weapon is a pair of brutally effective, twin-linked [[GAU-23/AW/Linkless Feed Autocannon]]s installed on weapon armatures on either side of the fuselage. These autocannons can fire the full range of 20mm aircraft ammunition, though the standard loadout on the Sparrowhawk is either [[M718 SAPHEI]], or [[PGU-42/B API]] with a [[depleted uranium]] core, and are capable of neutralizing infantry and light vehicles with ease.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}{{Ref/Reuse|deep links}}<ref>[http://mktplassets.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/31804095-7B32-4CE2-A17E-3CB54A3692EF/0/HaloWars_MNL_EN.PDF Halo Wars manual]</ref> The secondary weapon of the Sparrowhawk is a nose-mounted [[M6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Cannon]], an upgraded version of the [[M6 Spartan Laser]].{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}<ref>'''[[Halo Wars: Limited Edition]]''', ''[[:File:HWLE Anders Profile Back.jpg|Anders leader card]]''</ref> The cannon allows gunners to conduct devastatingly effective long-range strikes on heavy vehicles such as tanks with pinpoint accuracy. Components of the Sparrowhawk's cannon were later miniaturized and incorporated into the infantry-portable [[M6/E Spartan Laser|M6/E Spartan Laser variant]].{{Ref/Reuse|deep links}}
[[Image:SparrowHawk.jpg|300px|thumb|A squadron of [[UNSC]] Hawks hovering above a desert.]]


The Hawk is a fast and maneuverable aircraft, much more so than the [[AV-14 Attack VTOL]] that it replaces. Rather than thrust-vectoring jet thrusters, like most UNSC aircraft, the Hawk makes use of ducted fans in the wings to provide lift and thrust, and is equipped with wing-mounted [[GUA-23/AW/Linkless Feed Autocannon]]s as well as a nose-mounted [[Weapon/Anti-Vehicle Model 6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Rifle]]<ref>''[[Halo Wars]], leader cards''</ref>, allowing it to engage enemy infantry, vehicles and aircraft, making for an aircraft of extreme tactical versatility. The Hawk is the unique unit of Professor [[Ellen Anders]].<ref>[http://www.xbox.com/NR/rdonlyres/31804095-7B32-4CE2-A17E-3CB54A3692EF/0/HaloWars_MNL_EN.PDF Halo Wars Manual]</ref>
Like most of the UNSC's vehicle fleet, the aircraft has some degree of modularity. Its wings can be fitted with mounting brackets for missile racks, and the weapon armatures on the fuselage and nose can be fitted with a number of other twin-linked heavy machine guns.
 
These armaments, combined with the VTOL's impressive speed and maneuverability, allows the Sparrowhawk to engage Covenant [[Type-26 Banshee]]s on more than equal terms and to pursue fleeing dropships or engage them as they approach; even a pair of Sparrowhawks can destroy a {{Pattern|Bkowe'nei|Vampire}}—the bane of the AV-14—with minimal attrition.{{Ref/Reuse|Repairs}}

*The original announcement of the Hawk as well as the unveiling of the first concept art for the design was accomplished through a "decrypting" image set. Community Manager Graham Somers posted the first full-static image at the end of an update. Over time the image cleared itself up. The following update contained larger versions of the Hawk and a short description.

*The Hawk strongly resembles an early concept of the [[Hornet]].
*A [[Wikipedia:Sparrowhawk|sparrowhawk]] is a species of small hawk, in keeping with the UNSC's tradition of naming most atmospheric aircraft after birds.  
*The Hawk has a resemblance to the [[w:c:cnc:Orca_Gunship|Orca Gunships]] of the ''[[w:c:cnc:Main_Page|Command and Conquer]]'' series.

The AV-22 Sparrowhawk, formally known as the AV-22 Attack VTOL[1], but often simply nicknamed the Hawk, is a VTOL attack aircraft in service with the United Nations Space Command.

Overview[edit]

Design details[edit]

The AV-22 Sparrowhawk is a formidable air-to-ground anti-tank aerodyne that is used to hunt tanks and support ground advances.[5]

The Sparrowhawk features a two-seat cockpit with tandem seating for a pilot and gunner, and cyberlink-compatible fly-by-light avionics.[3] Rather than using thrust-vectoring jets like some aircraft of the United Nations Space Command, the AV-22 features an integrated VTOL propulsion system that combines a turbojet with dual-ducted lift fans,[3] which gives it a maximum airspeed of 611 kilometers per hour (380 miles per hour)[2] and impressive maneuverability.

The Sparrowhawk shares a number of design similarities with its fellow aerodyne brethren such as the AV-14 Hornet, AV-19 SkyHawk, AV-30 Kestrel, and AV-49 Wasp,[3] however while classified as an "Attack VTOL", some branches of the United Nations Space Command armed forces classify the aircraft as a gunship due to its heavy armament.

Armaments[edit]

The VTOL's primary weapon is a pair of brutally effective, twin-linked GAU-23/AW/Linkless Feed Autocannons installed on weapon armatures on either side of the fuselage. These autocannons can fire the full range of 20mm aircraft ammunition, though the standard loadout on the Sparrowhawk is either M718 SAPHEI, or PGU-42/B API with a depleted uranium core, and are capable of neutralizing infantry and light vehicles with ease.[1][3][6] The secondary weapon of the Sparrowhawk is a nose-mounted M6 Grindell/Galilean Nonlinear Cannon, an upgraded version of the M6 Spartan Laser.[1][7] The cannon allows gunners to conduct devastatingly effective long-range strikes on heavy vehicles such as tanks with pinpoint accuracy. Components of the Sparrowhawk's cannon were later miniaturized and incorporated into the infantry-portable M6/E Spartan Laser variant.[3]

Like most of the UNSC's vehicle fleet, the aircraft has some degree of modularity. Its wings can be fitted with mounting brackets for missile racks, and the weapon armatures on the fuselage and nose can be fitted with a number of other twin-linked heavy machine guns.

These armaments, combined with the VTOL's impressive speed and maneuverability, allows the Sparrowhawk to engage Covenant Type-26 Banshees on more than equal terms and to pursue fleeing dropships or engage them as they approach; even a pair of Sparrowhawks can destroy a Bkowe'nei-pattern Vampire—the bane of the AV-14—with minimal attrition.[8]

Operational history[edit]

The Sparrowhawk was employed as early as 2526[10], and later saw action on Harvest during the final months of the Harvest campaign in early 2531.[1] Weeks later, several Sparrowhawks attached to UNSC Spirit of Fire defended their parent vessel from a Covenant Sinaris-pattern heavy destroyer during the Battle of Trove, proving the VTOL's effectiveness as both a ground-support platform and as an impromptu atmospheric fighter.[8] The Sparrowhawk met with great success in the war against the Covenant, serving as a gunship escort for troop transports, providing aerial security, and operating in hunter-killer squadrons that harassed Covenant landing zones and troop columns. Combat losses were always high, though pilots accumulated enviable kill ratios.[3]

Although the Sparrowhawk was widely produced during the first decade of the war, problems with its ducted fan propulsion system[11] and the high costs of repair and replacement resulted in limited production after 2550.[1] Nonetheless, the Sparrowhawk continued active service and saw combat during the Battle for Earth in 2552, the Battle of Draetheus V in 2554, the Invasion of Earth in 2555, and the Battle of Installation 03 in 2557.[12][13] On March 11, 2558 several AV-22 Sparrowhawks belonging to the Spirit of Fire, alongside multiple AC-220 Vultures, attacked the UNSC Infinity when the Pilgrims' Pride was pulled into the Infinity's docking bay.[14] Several Sparrowhawks were used by the Surakan Militia against Hekabe's forces in the Carrow Conflict later that year.[15]

Prior to the Sparrowhawk's introduction, the AV-14 Hornet filled a similar anti-tank and ground support role, and as such is considered the Hawk's predecessor.[1]

Gameplay[edit]

In Halo Wars' skirmish and multiplayer modes, the Hawk is the unique unit of Professor Ellen Anders. It is available as the final upgrade for the AV-14 Hornet at a cost of 900 supplies and a tech level of 3. It can be built at the airpad for a cost of 250 resources and 2 population with a tech level of 2. The game's first title update increased the Hawk's upgrade price to 1350 supplies in order to prevent spamming of the unit.
