This resource is mainly for missions designers to set up fully-featured and functional SAM groups using the many various units available under the “Air defence” vehicle category in the [[Digital Combat Simulator|DCS]] mission editor.
 
Each block describes the system as a whole, the ground units it consists of, the dependencies between these units, and some very rough performance figures (in-game and wiki-based). Note that maximum altitudes, in particular, can be a bit vague due to the interaction between maximum sensor elevation, sensor range, and missile flight capabilities. While the maximum altitude may seem sufficient on some systems, it is often a lot lower in practice because there is a rather narrow band between where the missile still has energy enough to climb, and where the (usually) radar is still able to track a target. For maximum skylord murderness, make sure the altitude capabilities are ridiculously above where the target is expected to fly.

A basic Hawk battery consists of:
* 1&times; PCP
* 2&times; AN/MPQ-56 HPIR
* 1&times; AN/MPQ-50 PAR
* 1&times; AN/MPQ-55 CWAR
* 6&times; M192 Launchers
* 3&times; M501 Loading Tractors
For endurance, it should be supplemented with static warehouses or M818 trucks to supply ammunition. Other components of the system can either be added as (non-functional) static objects, or excluded altogether. The system cannot be driven using Combined Arms.
 
The ROR is a fall-back system to help with ranging in a high-ECM environment. It is not simulated or present in DCS. Similarly, the AFCC and LSC are distributed systems for redundancy should the command post be eliminated. The effect of these can be approximated by adding 3 additional PCP:s.
 
For further decoration, add 8&times; Structures/GeneratorF and 12&times; Cargos/Container static objects.
