Advanced Hawkeye
Abstract
The E-2D Advanced Hawkeye (AHE) program provides the Navy with a carrier-based airborne command and control platform, which is equipped with the APY-9 radar system, multiple communications systems for data and voice, and additional sensor systems. All of these systems are integrated into the aircraft via a computing infrastructure that is highly automated, which enables a highly trained crew of just 5 aviators to conduct battle management that would otherwise require several dozen personnel at multiple locations. E-2D provides Theater Air and Missile Defense (TAMD) today, and is critical for establishing the long-range kill chains of Naval Integrated Fires Control (NIFC) necessary to defeat the threats of our peer adversaries. Work has begun on upgrading the 25-year old computing architecture of the AHE that will allow the Navy to lead the Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) efforts in any theater. As production of the airplane winds down (final airframe procurement is scheduled for FY23), the threat continues to increase in both capability and capacity. The E-2D Research, Development, Test and Evaluation budget reflects the Navy's investment into the E-2D to ensure that the US maintains a tactical advantage over any adversary. Efforts initiated in recent years ensure that the E-2D can outpace the threat, and include upgrades to the air vehicle, mission systems, datalinks, and sensors. The program integrates and tests these new capabilities, and provides Fleet concurrent training equipment upgrades. Subsequent to successful testing, new capabilities are delivered on a regularly scheduled basis, and are put together as a Delta System/Software Configuration (DSSC) package to ensure commonality and configuration control across the Fleet. In FY23, among the other E-2D mission systems R&D efforts, there are 2 major initiatives that will ensure that the E-2D is ready & relevant into the coming decades. First, obsolete and failing components of the 15-year old cockpit design are being addressed by HECTR (Hawkeye Cockpit Technical Refresh), which ensures a higher safety margin for carrier landings after 8-hour sorties, and will substantially decrease sustainment costs over the lifecycle of the airplane. Second is TCID (Theater Combat Identification), which includes the upgrades to the 25-year old computing infrastructure mentioned above. TCID will bring Multi-Level Security and Cross-Domain solutions through an Open Mission System (OMS) Architecture. TCID is the key to establishing the CNO's vision for the Naval Operational Architecture and the Joint Chiefs' vision for JADC2. HECTR and TCID are planned for DSSC-6, FY27 delivery. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT AND DEMONSTRATION because it includes those projects that have passed Milestone B approval and are conducting engineering and manufacturing development tasks aimed at meeting validated requirement prior to full-rate production decision.
