In 1985, construction began of the Hawk Mk 200 to meet a wide demand for a dedicated single-seat tactical attack version of the two-seat Hawk trainer.  This nimble aircraft that is largely a Hawk Mk 60 aft of the new forward fuselage can also perform reconnaissance and anti-ship roles in all-weather conditions.

 The Hawk 200 was given an extensive array of electronic additions to perform these various tasks. In addition to the standard  Hawk equipment, these aircraft boast; Display Processor and Mission Computer, LINS-300 ring laser gyroscope INS, AN/ARN-153 TACAN, AN/ARN-147 VOR/ILS, Raytheon 4720 IFF. The piece of hardware that really improved this aircraft capability was the Westinghouse APG-66 X-band multi-mode pulse-Doppler radar developed from the F-16 version.

 Weapons carrying capability on the seven store positions max out at 6000 pounds. This load is almost the same as for the early F-5 versions and superior to the F-104.     

Hawks 200s have been exported to Indonesia, Malaysia, and Oman.
