Chiesto stanziamento per l'acquisto di un ulteriore E-2D Hawkeye ....

 

The Navy’s list also asks for funding for an additional Northrop Grumman E-2D Hawkeye for $146 million and a further $11 million to continue testing the aircraft under the Naval Integrated Fire Control-Counter Air (NIFC-CA) construct.

NIFC-CA would tie all of the Navy’s air and sea assets into a coherent whole during a high-end conflict using a series of data-links.

The Hawkeye is the centerpiece of the entire construct.
