-2C+ HAWKEYE: The “eyes of the airwing," this airborne early warning command and control aircraft keeps the big picture for the battle group. The VAW-116 “Sun Kings” fly the updated version of the Hawkeye. This E-2C+, with a crew of five, operates at longer ranges, can track more than 2,000 targets, has improved jamming resistance and fully-automated/optimized overland detection. State-of-the-art avionics and upgraded engines make this “mini-AWACS” an indispensable command and control platform.
