On May 24, 1979, six QUICK LOOK II electronic intelligence systems mounted on RV-1D Mohawk aircraft became operational in the Republic of Korea. Operated by the 146th Army Security Agency Company out of Camp Humphreys, Pyong Taek, they flew their first missions just four days later. The QUICK LOOK II systems had also deployed to Europe seven months earlier. The QUICK LOOK II systems retired in 1995.
The QUICK LOOK II replaced the QUICK LOOK I, which first became operational in Germany in 1974. Both aerial systems were designed to detect, intercept, and locate radar emitters. They both transmitted their collected data to a ground processing facility. However, the newer system collected across a greater frequency range and had fewer maintenance issues. Consequently, a QUICK LOOK II system averaged twenty missions a month, compared to the previous system’s twelve. When fully operational, QUICK LOOK II had a day-and-night capability and could collect in almost any weather conditions.
