Northrop Grumman to Produce First Japanese E-2D Advanced Hawkeye
05 Janvier 2016 - 4:30PM
Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) has received a U.S. Navy
contract modification for non-recurring engineering and recurring
support to configure the first Japanese E-2D Advanced Hawkeye.
The E-2D is an all-weather, airborne early warning (AEW),
command and control aircraft that will meet the Japanese Defense
Ministry's requirements for a future airborne early warning
platform, according to a statement it released in November 2014.
The aircraft will be produced at the company's Aircraft Integration
Center of Excellence in St. Augustine, Florida.
Under the $285,975,244 contract modification, Northrop Grumman
will configure the Japanese E-2D aircraft utilizing the same E-2D
multiyear production line used for U.S. aircraft to allow for a
more efficient and affordable delivery schedule. The E-2D is the
world's only in-production AEW aircraft.
In November 2014, the Japan Ministry of Defense competitively
selected the E-2D to fulfill an emerging next-generation AEW
requirement.
"The E-2D will provide a critical capability that will serve as
a force multiplier for the Japanese government," said Jane Bishop,
vice president, E-2D Advanced Hawkeye and C-2 Greyhound programs,
Northrop Grumman. "First responders will be able to receive and act
on information more quickly than before with greater airborne early
warning capability and a networked communications system."
The Japanese Air Self Defense Force has operated the E-2C
Hawkeye since the late 1980s. The E-2C is also currently in use by
Taiwan, France and Egypt.
