Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye nuotraukų galerija, Grumman E-2 Hawkeye yra Amerikos visų oro sąlygų, lėktuvnešio galintis taktinis oras išankstinio įspėjimo (AEW) orlaivis. Šis dviejų turbopropelerinis orlaivis buvo suprojektuotas ir sukurtas 1950-ųjų pabaigoje ir 1960-ųjų pradžioje "Grumman Aircraft Company", skirto Jungtinių Valstijų kariniam jūrų laivynui, kaip ankstesnio "E-1 Tracer", kuris greitai paseno, pakaitalas. Orlaivio našumas buvo patobulintas naudojant E-2B ir E-2C versijas, kuriose dauguma radarų ir radijo ryšių pakeitimų buvo atlikti dėl elektroninių integrinių grandynų ir kitos elektronikos pažangos. Ketvirtoji "Hawkeye" versija yra E-2D, kuris pirmą kartą skrido 2007 m. E-2 buvo pirmasis orlaivis, nuo pat pradžių suprojektuotas kaip AEW orlaivis, o ne esamo orlaivio korpuso, pvz., E-3, pakeitimas.

General Characteristics and Role
The Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye is an American all-weather, carrier-capable tactical airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft. It was developed to replace the E-1 Tracer and has become the US Navy’s primary AEW platform. Distinctive for its massive 24-foot (7.3 m) diameter rotating radar dome, or rotodome, mounted above the fuselage, the E-2 is often referred to as “the eyes of the fleet.” Its primary mission is to provide wide-area surveillance of the sea and air, detecting hostile aircraft and cruise missiles at long range. The E-2 acts as a flying command and control center, directing friendly fighter aircraft, managing air traffic, and coordinating search and rescue operations. It is essential for extending the defensive and offensive capabilities of a carrier strike group far beyond the ship’s own radar horizon.

Powerplant and Sensor Systems
- Engines: 2 x Rolls-Royce T56-A-427A turboprop engines (E-2D model uses the -427A).
- Engine Power: Approx. 5,100 shp (3,800 kW) per engine.
- Maximum Speed: Approx. 648 km/h (403 mph).
- Endurance: Over 6 hours on station.
- Radar System: The E-2C utilized the APS-145 radar; the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye uses the significantly more capable AN/APY-9 radar. The radar provides 360-degree coverage and can track hundreds of targets simultaneously.
- Rotodome: The rotodome is hydro-mechanically rotated at 6 RPM during flight, providing continuous scanning.
- Carrier Features: Equipped with hydraulically folding outer wing panels and a strong arrestor hook for shipboard operations.
Service History and Legacy
- Modernization: The E-2 has undergone continuous modernization, culminating in the current E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, which features a “glass cockpit,” aerial refueling capability, and the revolutionary AN/APY-9 radar.
- Export: The Hawkeye has been exported to several key US allies, including France (used on their nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, Charles de Gaulle), Japan, Israel (now retired), Egypt, and Taiwan.
- Operational Importance: It is one of only two turboprop aircraft currently operating from US Navy supercarriers (the other being the C-2 Greyhound, based on the same airframe).
- Key Events: E-2s have played crucial roles in numerous conflicts, including the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, primarily by controlling air space and guiding aircraft.
- C-2 Greyhound: The Hawkeye airframe was the basis for the C-2 Greyhound carrier-on-board delivery (COD) transport aircraft, highlighting the versatility of the original design.
