[PAR] [TLE] Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye [SEP] The Northrop Grumman E-2 Hawkeye is an American all-weather, carrier-capable tactical airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft.  This twin-turboprop aircraft was designed and developed during the late 1950s and early 1960s by the Grumman Aircraft Company for the United States Navy as a replacement for the earlier, piston-engined E-1 Tracer, which was rapidly becoming obsolete.  The aircraft's performance has been upgraded with the E-2B, and E-2C versions, where most of the changes were made to the radar and radio communications due to advances in electronic integrated circuits and other electronics.  The fourth major version of the Hawkeye is the E-2D, which first flew in 2007.  The E-2 was the first aircraft designed specifically for its role, as opposed to a modification of an existing airframe, such as the Boeing E-3 Sentry.  Variants of the Hawkeye have been in continuous production since 1960, giving it the longest production run of any carrier-based aircraft. [PAR] [TLE] 601st Squadron (JASDF) [SEP] The 第601飛行隊 (601st Squadron , dai603hikoutai ) is a squadron of the Airborne Early Warning Surveillance Group of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force (JASDF) based at Misawa Air Base in Aomori Prefecture, Japan.  It is equipped with Northrop Grumman E-2C Hawkeye aircraft.
