040910-N-4308O-017 Atlantic Ocean (Sept. 10, 2004) Ð An E-2C+ Hawkeye, assigned to the ÒBear AcesÓ of Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron One Two Four (VAW-124), comes in for an arrested landing aboard the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75). The E-2C+ Hawkeye is modified with the eight-bladed NP2000 propeller. The new propeller, made by Hamilton-Sundstrand, increases performance and safety along with better maintenance techniques. Other improvements to the airframe include the Group II Mission Computer Replacement Program, which speeds up the HawkeyeÕs computers eig

The new propeller, made by Hamilton-Sundstrand, increases performance and safety along with better maintenance techniques. Other improvements to the airframe include the Group II Mission Computer Replacement Program, which speeds up the HawkeyeÕs computers eight times faster than the older models. The final modification to the E-2C+ Hawkeye is a new flat panel display for the Naval Flight OfficerÕs mission scopes. The new display has a crisper picture, increased contrast and brightness, increased maintenance reliability and is 44 pounds lighter per scope.
