Description
The E-2 Hawkeye is an American all-weather, aircraft carrier-capable tactical airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft. This twin-turboprop aircraft was designed and developed during the late 1950s and early 1960s for the United States Navy as a replacement for the earlier E-1 Tracer. In addition to U.S. Navy service, smaller numbers of E-2s have been sold to the armed forces of Egypt, France, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Singapore and Taiwan.
This specific variant is the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, which is currently under development. The E-2D features an entirely new avionics suite, radio suite, mission computer, integrated satellite communications capability, flight management system, improved turboprop engines, a new tactical glass cockpit and the potential capability for air-to-air refueling.
