E-2D Advanced Hawkeye

The E-2D Advanced Hawkeye is the latest in a line of Airborne Command and Control aircraft that stretches back over 60 years.

This aircraft, whose roots are deep in the defense of a carrier battle group against long range bombers over water, has evolved into a cutting-edge platform capable of identifying and deterring robust set of threats in any environment, over air, land, littorals, and water for extended durations.

Some of the many new features of the Advanced Hawkeye are

Continuous 360 Degree Coverage

All-weather UHF band radar sees clearly over dense areas with simultaneous air and ground tracking of more than 3,000 targets in all radar modes. E-2D provides real-time, target-quality Common Operating Picture to joint forces.

Unmatched Operational Flexibility

The operational flexibility of E-2D is combat proven and invaluable throughout past and current world events. E-2D has supported humanitarian aid, disaster relief and assistance to civil authorities as well as air and surface border security and pattern-of-life operations.

E-2D deploys in all phases of conflict with a significantly smaller logistical footprint compared to other AEW&C aircraft and offers versatility to operate from land and sea.

E-2D is a Force Multiplier

• Ample automation for efficient crew size.
