Extending the Range of the U.S. Navy's E-2D Advanced Hawkeye
Dave Majumdar
The Northrop Grumman E-2D Advanced Hawkeye completed its first aerial refueling earlier this summer.
The new capability, which will be eventually be retrofitted onto the U.S. Navy’s entire E-2D fleet, will greatly increase the range and endurance of the Advanced Hawkeye. That is particularly important as the United States focuses more on the Asia-Pacific region, where the vast distances over the Pacific are increasingly forcing the navy to look for way to extend the reach of its carrier air wings.
