GPS aircraft tracking is a means of tracking the position of an aircraft fitted with a satellite navigation device.By communication with navigation satellites, detailed real-time data on flight variables can be passed to a server on the ground.
The British Aerospace Hawk 200 is a British single-seat, single-engine, subsonic light multirole fighter designed for air defence, air denial, anti-shipping, interdiction, close air support, and ground attack. Based on the BAE Systems Hawk, Hawk 200 was developed as a dedicated combat variant of the Hawk advanced trainer family for export market.
