AEW & EW Systems E-2D Advanced Hawkeye

The Advanced Hawkeye will be a critical node in the FORCEnet architecture and will provide a highly adaptive form of Airborne Command and Control. Using its data and information services capabilities, it will have the ability to gather large amounts of data from both onboard and offboard sensors and then fuse and exploit that data, transforming it into actionable knowledge. As the Navy’s only carrier-based battle manager, the Advanced Hawkeye will be able to provide increased situational awareness to warfighters on the ground, in the air, and on the surface. The Advanced Hawkeye’s FORCEnet...

Advanced Hawkeye: The Heart of Sea Shield Protecting the fleet The Advanced Hawkeye’s two-generation leap in radar technology, enhanced surveillance, communications capability, onboard decision support systems, and ability to operate in a cluttered and electronically jammed environment makes it perfectly suited to assume this critical role. Operating from forward-deployed aircraft carriers and utilizing Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC), the Advanced Hawkeye works in concert with CEC-equipped Aegis surface combatants to provide the unprecedented cruise missile detection necessary to...

Mission Expansion E-2C Hawkeye employment in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom has confirmed the critical capabilities a carrier-based airborne battle manager brings to the battlespace. Hawkeye command and control capabilities helped coordinate the dynamic flow of the air campaign, and increasingly, many aspects of the ground campaign. U.S. Navy sea experiments are now focused on demonstrations that permit the direct feed of images, video, data, digital chat, and Internet Protocol communication into the Advanced Hawkeye. These sources of data, in addition to traditional...
