31 May 2019: Northrop Grumman Corporation has delivered its first E-2D Advanced Hawkeye to the Japanese Air Self-Defence Force (JASDF) on March 29.
The Japan Ministry of Defence competitively selected the Northrop Grumman E-2D on November 2014 to fulfil an emerging next-generation airborne early warning requirement.
"Northrop Grumman's longstanding partnership with Japan is beginning a new chapter with the delivery of the first Japan E-2D," said Jane Bishop, Vice President and integrated product team leader, manned airborne surveillance programs, Northrop Grumman. "This aircraft provides a significant increase in early warning and surveillance capability to outpace Japan's evolving security needs."
Since 1983, Japan has operated the Northrop Grumman E-2C Hawkeye and is the largest E-2 operator outside the US.
