Historical background and use of the Grumman E-2C Hawkeye

The E-2C Hawkeye is an American aircraft designed for AWACS missions (Airborne Warning and Control System). It debuted in the 1970s as a development of the earlier E-2B variant. It is distinguished by a characteristic dish-shaped radar antenna mounted above the fuselage—hence the nickname "Screw Top." Aircraft of this type have played a key role in naval and ground operations, such as Operation Desert Storm (Gulf War, 1991). Outside the United States, the E-2C Hawkeye is also used by countries such as France, Japan, Taiwan, and Israel. In service from the late 1970s to the present day, it remains one of the cornerstones of aircraft carrier air defense.
