A military Airborne Early Warning and Control plane. The twin-turboprop Hawkeye serves the U.S Navy in the same role as the larger Boeing E-3 in the Airborne Warning and Control System, equipped with a 24-foot dorsal rotodome and communications equipment that enables it to surveil large areas and control aircraft within its assigned airspace.
