Northrop Grumman’s E-2D Advanced Hawkeye is a Game Changer

Washington: The Northrop Grumman E-2D Advanced Hawkeye is a game changer in how the Navy conducts battle management command and control. By serving as the “digital quarterback” to sweep ahead of strike, manage the mission, and keep the net-centric carrier battle groups out of harm’s way, the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye is the key to advancing the mission, no matter what it may be.

The E-2D gives the warfighter expanded battlespace awareness, especially in the area of information operations delivering battle management, theatre air and missile defence, and multiple sensor fusion capabilities in an airborne system.

With a two-generation leap in radar sensor capability and a robust network enabled capability, the Advanced Hawkeye delivers critical, actionable data to joint forces and first responders. These advances provide warfighters with the necessary situational awareness to compress the time between initial awareness and active engagement.

In August 2003, Northrop Grumman and Team Hawkeye committed to delivering Delta One, the first system development and demonstration (SD&D) aircraft and on August 3, 2007, it delivered on that promise conducting its successful first flight.

Advanced Hawkeye is the cornerstone of the US Navy’s theatre air and missile defence architecture in the littorals, overland, and open sea. Renowned for its superior technology and global performance, the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye was ranked by the US Navy among its top five acquisition programs for 2023.
