Designed by Grumman as from 1957 to carry out surveillance missions from
aircraft carriers in an entirely autonomous way, the E-2 Hawkeye has up
to now never ceased to develop. Certainly today's most complex aircraft
ever to be loaded, its large dimensions however don't prevent it from
going down into the hangars of the aircraft carrier, since the wings
fold back laterally on each side of the fuselage. The operational core
is in fact the radar, combined with a very high performance computer.
The French Navy ordered three units of the most recent model in April
1995. They took delivery of the first one on the 18th December 1998 at
the Lann-Bihoué airbase. These aircraft are part of the 4F Flotilla and
are aboard the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier.
