According to B. Carrasco in IndoDefensa, the Regiment of Anti-Aircraft Artillery (RAAA) 74 of the Spanish Army has recently received its first updated Hawk missile systems, after an overhaul process carried out in Greece. This program is expected to increase the operational availability of this weapon system and is part of the actions to "extend its life cycle beyond 2030".
The reconditioning process involves digitizing the electronic components of the tracking radars and launchers of the analog group to make them more reliable with cutting-edge digital technology. This is one of the actions put in place to extend the life of the Hawk system, but it is not the only one.
Within the plans to extend its service until at least 2030, the RAAA 74 is working on a study for the replacement in the medium term, around 2025, of the exploration radars that the system currently uses by the Sentinel radar, which is already endowed in the Spanish Armed Forces. This jump to the version known as Hawk 21 is an initial proposal in a still initial phase.
