Rockwell Collins to upgrade US Navy E-2D Advanced HITS
Rockwell Collins will upgrade the US Navy’s E-2D Advanced Hawkeye Integrated Training System (HITS) under an initial contract valued at $26 million that could rise to $40 million.
The upgrade includes an operational flight trainer, provided by subcontractor ASI; modifications to the tactics trainer; a modification to the maintenance trainer; and spares.
Rockwell Collins was previously selected as the prime contractor for the major training systems on the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, the navy’s replacement for the E-2C. These training systems include the Hawkeye Integrated Training System for Aircrew (HITS-A) and the Hawkeye Integrated Training System for Maintenance (HITS-M).
HITS-A and HITS-M provide realistic scene fidelity, image quality and performance. They are used by the US Navy’s Carrier Airborne Command and Control and Logistics Wing’s Fleet and Replacement Squadrons as well as the Hawkeye Weapons Schools.
