Northrop Grumman delivers final US Navy E-2D Advanced Hawkeye Aircraft


 

E-2D Advanced Hawkeye

 

The aircraft represents the last to be delivered under the Multi-Year Procurement (MYP) 1 contract.

The aircraft features the Delta System/Software Configuration (DSSC) Build 3. This system, along with the incorporation of aerial refueling and a dwell-based tracker, is expected to increase game-changing capability enhancements for the Navy and joint force to outpace evolving threats.

The future deliveries will include capability improvements to enable the US Navy and joint force to combat new threats.

The E-2D Advanced Hawkeye will help the Navy to improve its battle management command and control.

According to the Northrop Grumman website, it functions as the ‘digital quarterback’ and helps in managing the mission and keeping net-centric carrier battle groups safe.

In December 2016, an E-2D flew for the first time fitted with an aerial refueling capability. This feature will allow the aircraft to double its time on station to five hours and increase total mission time from four to seven hours. The refueling modification will start being built into the 46th plane (out of 75 planned) for delivery in late 2020 costing an additional $2 million per aircraft and the Navy plans to retrofit the feature on all previous Hawkeyes for $6 million per plane. (needs an update according to Wikipedia)

 

 

Some of the many new features of the Advanced Hawkeye are

 

  • A completely new radar featuring both mechanical and electronic scanning capabilities
  • Fully Integrated “All Glass” Tactical Cockpit
  • Advanced Identification Friend or Foe System
  • New Mission Computer and Tactical Workstations
  • Electronic Support Measures Enhancements
  • Modernized Communications and Data Link Suite

These and other new developments incorporated into the E-2D ensure 

 

  • True 360-degree radar coverage provides uncompromised all-weather tracking and situational awareness
  • Open architecture compliant, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS)-based hardware and software enables rapid, cost-wise technology refresh for consistent leading-edge mission tools
  • A true FORCEnet enabler – A force multiplier through network-enabled capability, Advanced Hawkeye is the gateway to Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Michael G. Mullen’s vision for a “1,000-ship navy.”
  • Multi-mission flexibility ranging from command and control through missile defense to border security
