About the E-2C Hawkeye:
The E-2 Hawkeye was developed in the United States as a carrier-based airborne early warning aircraft for the US Navy.

Powered by two turboprop engines, the aircraft is capable of long endurance patrol missions.

The E-2C plays a vital role in fleet air defence, coordinating fighter aircraft and providing real-time situational awareness.
