The aircraft we introduce today is the all-weather, carrier-borne tactical AEW (Airborne Early Warning) aircraft. The name of this aircraft is Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye which was the twin-turboprop aircraft that was designed and manufactured by the company named Grumman Aircraft Company back in the 1960s for the USAF (the United States Air Force). The aircraft was designed to replace the US navy’s aging fleet of the piston engine-powered aircraft; E-1 tracer. The Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye has been upgraded to variants designated as E-2B and E-2C with major changes being made in the radar and its radio communications following the advancements in the electronic integrated circuits as well as the other electronics. The 4th major model of the earlier Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye is the one named E-2D which took its first flight back in 2007. The Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye holds the title for being the aircraft that was introduced back in 1960 and it is still in production which makes it the longest serial production carrier-borne aircraft today. The Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye was also given the nickname Super Fudd and previously it was known as Willy Fudd. As for the latest nicknames of this aircraft, it is Hummer because of the very distinct sound that the turboprop engines of the aircraft produced unlike that of the turbofan jet and the turbojet engines. Although the US navy is the primary operator for this aircraft, the Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye has also been sold to other following military forces across the globe. Egypt France Israel Japan Singapore Taiwan Mexico Background and First Flight:- The very first carrier-borne aircraft of the US navy was named Douglas AD Skyraider which was then replaced by the Grumman E-1 Tracer which was then also modified to be the S-2 Tracker; an anti-submarine warfare aircraft which also carried the radar system in its radome located above the fuselage section. Back in 1956 US navy asked for an aircraft with the requirement of being an AW aircraft, the data of which could be then integrated with the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System) located on the ship of the navy. The Grumman Aircraft was chosen for this project with the delivery of design to be made in March of 1957. The aircraft’s original designation was W2F-1 which was later changed to be E-2A Hawkeye. The very first prototype of the Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye was ready for its aerodynamics test back in October of 1 960 and took its first flight on October 21st of the same year. As for the fully equipped prototype, it made its first flight back on April 19th, 1961 and entered the service of the US Navy back in January of 1964 designated E-2A. Serial Production canceled due to Systems overheating:- It was not until 1965 that the E-2A model of the Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye underwent major problems mostly in its development that led to the aircraft order being canceled only after 59 units were manufactured. The major problem was the heating problem that led to insufficient cooling of the avionics compartment as well as the computer systems resulting in failures due to extreme heat. This led to even the whole fleet of the E-2A aircraft to be grounded from active service. This led to the upgrading of the E-2A already manufactured and re-designated as E-2Bs and nearly 49 of them were created. The design was improved by replacing the rotary drum computer with the Litton L-304 digital computer as well as other avionics also being changed. Birth of E-2C Hawkeye:- In 1968 another modification and reliability improvement was carried out on the E-2B models of the Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye series which led to the creation of 29 of E-2Cs. The upgrades this time were made in the computer and radar performances. Powerplant and Performance:- Power was delivered to the Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye by twin Allison/Rolls Royce T56-A-427 which delivered about 5100 SHP each. This allowed for the aircraft to fly at a top speed of about 400mph while the cruising speed was about 295mph. as for the ferry range, the aircraft could cover a range of about 1682 miles while its endurance measured to be 6 hours. The aircraft’s service ceiling was 34700 feet. US Navy Nickname as “Eyes of Fleet”:- The very first fleet of the E-2A entered service of the US navy back in 1964 whereas the very first deployment of this aircraft from aboard an aircraft carrier was back in 1965 from the USS Kitty Hawk. The Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye served initially the US navy during the Vietnam War and since then has helped the US navy in all their global conflicts. The aircraft even has a nickname the electronic “Eyes of the Fleet”. Service with other US government departments:- In addition to serving the US Navy, the Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye has also been of service to other non-military US government departments like the US Customs Service and the US Coast Guard as well as the US federal state police forces for their anti-drug missions. Other operators:- The export of the Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye was also carried out to the other world militaries as well regulated by the US Federal Government under the FMS (Foreign Military Sales) to the following nations. France Egypt Taiwan Singapore Japan Israel Unofficial names of E-2 series and Current Status:- The E-2 series of the aircraft are also known by their unofficial nicknames like the Hummer and Super Fudd. The nickname Hummer is given because of the aircraft’s turboprop engines creating distinct sounds unlike those of the turbojet engines. While the nickname Super Fudd is given due to the aircraft replacing the E-1 series which was known by its own nickname of Willy Fudd. The Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye s still in use with the latest variant in its line being designated as E-2D Hawkeye which had its first fight back in 2007.

NORFOLK: The famed “eyes of the fleet” are getting sharper. The Navy has declared the latest variant, the E-2D radar plane, ready for real-world operations just in time for the 50th anniversary of the original E-2 Hawkeye. The first five-plane squadron will deploy on the USS Theodore Roosevelt next year. Meanwhile, the current E-2C models are playing an essential role in the Middle East, launching from the USS George Bush to serve as flying command posts and air traffic control for the ongoing strikes against the self-proclaimed Islamic State. “The CAG [Carrier Air Group] and the admiral would not go into harm’s way without an E-2,” said Capt. Drew Basden, commodore of the Navy’s Hawkeye force, “and that’s an E-2C.” While almost indistinguishable to the eye, the new E-2D version brings a much more powerful and discriminating radar — so much so, Basden told reporters visiting here, that the D may eventually do ballistic missile defense. That remark is one clue among many that the Navy wants the Advanced Hawkeye not just to do the current E-2C’s job better, as critical as it is, but to play a larger role. One sign of that larger role is simply a larger squadron: There’ll be five Ds aboard each carrier instead of the current four Cs. That squadron size, in turn, helps drive Navy plans to buy 75 of the $150 million Advanced Hawkeyes, more than the maximum number of Cs ever in service. (Only 52 “Charlies” remain today due to aging and accidents). Five planes per carrier is still probably not enough to keep one in the air at all times, but it will allow more constant coverage. An E-2D can stay aloft about five hours at a time on its own fuel, but in August the Navy completed the preliminary design review for an upgrade to allow mid-air refueling, something no Hawkeye has ever had. Even with aerial refueling, though, the Hawkeye’s human crew will limit its endurance. The Navy’s new MQ-4C Triton reconnaissance drone, for example, is designed for 24-hour missions, although its size restricts it to land bases. The future Unmanned Carrier-Launched Surveillance & Strike (UCLASS) drone, while compact enough to operate off a carrier, will be designed to fly for 14 hours. (Unlike the Hawkeye and Triton, the UCLASS will also be armed, albeit lightly and controversially). Even the modestly sized MQ-8C Fire Scout, an unmanned helicopter able to operate off small vessels, can stay aloft for 10-12 hours. But shorter missions is the price Hawkeye must pay for having human brains aboard, which are essential to its role as a flying command post that can direct air operations without relaying every tactical decision back to the carrier. Robots are great at carrying radars and other sensors, but not at sorting out the real-time chaos of combat, let alone making life-or-death decisions. How the Advanced Hawkeye will interact with the Navy’s expanding drone force is still up in the air. The E-2D’s bandwidth and other electronic capabilities are much greater than the C model’s, and there’s talk of upgrading the new Hawkeye to receive feeds from drones or to even control them, but that’s not in the current program. “With respect to any additional requirements to communicate with UAVs [unmanned air vehicles], those requirements are being looked at,” said Capt. John Lemmon, the E-2 program manager at Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR). The E-2D also carries unspecified “electronic support measures” (ESM) equipment and will play a significant role in the Navy’s new vision of “electromagnetic maneuver warfare” — but these systems are so highly classified that the Navy officials at Norfolk politely refused to provide any detail. What the service will say is that the Hawkeye is central to its new network for long-range warfare against enemy planes and missiles, Naval Integrated Fire Control – Counter Air. NIFC-CA shares detailed targeting information across the fleet, giving each linked ship and aircraft a much clearer picture of the enemy that it could get using its own sensors. An Aegis destroyer, for example, might use NIFCA-CA data to shoot down a distant enemy beyond the range of its own shipboard radars. While some modernized E-2Cs have the same datalinks that the E-2D has, the Advanced Hawkeye has a much more powerful, precise radar to provide targeting data to the network. “The Delta’s linkage to NIFC-CA has everything to do with the radar,” said Cdr. John Hewitt, who runs E-2D training. “The precision that you would need… you could not do in the Charlie [i.e. the E-2C].” The C-model, with its traditional mechanical radar, was designed to combat a Soviet-style threat — “think Tu-95 bear bombers and Udaloy destroyers,” Hewitt said — in “blue water” far from shore. “It’s still doing that job very well, [but] it had its limits in a littoral/over-land environment,” he said. The D-model’s solid-state radar, by contrast, can pick up “very small contacts, air and surface, over land, over water,” he said. “The aircraft does not care.”
