Fotogalerija Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye, The Grumman E-2 Hawkeye je ameriško all-weather, letalonosilka sposobna taktično airborne zgodnje opozarjanje (AEW) letalo. To dvo turboprop letalo je bilo načrtovano in razvito v poznih 1950-tih in v začetku 60-tih let, ki ga je grumman letalska družba za mornarico ZDA kot nadomestilo za prejšnjo E-1 Tracer, ki je hitro postajala zastarela. Zmogljivost letala je bila nadgrajena z različicami E-2B in E-2C, kjer je bila večina sprememb v radarskih in radijskih komunikacijah narejena zaradi napredka v elektronskih integriranih vezjih in drugi elektroniki. Četrta različica Hawkeyeja je E-2D, ki je prvič poletel leta 2007. E-2 je bilo prvo letalo, ki je bilo že na začetku zasnovano kot letalo AEW, v nasprotju s spremembo obstoječega zračnega okvirja, kot je E-3.

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.
