Photo gallery of a Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye, The Grumman E-2 Hawkeye je američki svevremeni, nosač aviona sposoban za rano upozoravanje (AEW) aviona. Ovaj tvin-turboprop avion je projektovan i razvijen krajem pedesetih i početkom šezdesetih godina prošlog veka od strane kompanije Gruman Aircraft Company za mornaricu Sjedinjenih Američkih Država kao zamena za raniji Tragač E-1, koji je brzo zastareo. Performanse aviona su unapređene sa E-2B, i E-2C verzijama, gde je većina promena izvršena na radarskim i radio komunikacijama zbog napretka u elektronskim integrisanim sklopovima i drugoj elektronici. Četvrta verzija Hokija je E-2D, koji je prvi put leteo 2007. E-2 je od samog početka bio prvi avion dizajniran da bude avion AEW- a, za razliku od modifikacije postojećeg aviona, kao što 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.
