It&#8217;s a turboprop with a dinner-plate radar on its back \u2014 and it just received the most significant upgrade in 25 years. Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman have completed testing of the Digital Receiver Exciter Recorder (DREXR) upgrade for the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye, replacing legacy analogue radar hardware with a compact, software-defined system that fundamentally changes what the aircraft can see and how hard it is to blind.\n\nThe upgrade arrives as the E-2D prepares for its Block II critical design review in May \u2014 a milestone that will define the Hawkeye&#8217;s capabilities for the next two decades.\n\n\n<div style=\"background:#f4f4f4;border-left:4px solid #333;padding:18px 22px;margin:18px 0 28px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;font-size:17px\">Quick Facts<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:20px;line-height:1.8\">\n<li><strong>Aircraft:<\/strong> E-2D Advanced Hawkeye<\/li>\n<li><strong>Upgrade:<\/strong> DREXR (Digital Receiver Exciter Recorder)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Developer:<\/strong> Lockheed Martin &#038; Northrop Grumman<\/li>\n<li><strong>What it does:<\/strong> Replaces legacy analogue radar hardware with software-defined processing<\/li>\n<li><strong>Key benefit:<\/strong> More precise beamforming, greater resistance to electronic jamming<\/li>\n<li><strong>Block II CDR:<\/strong> May 2026 \u2014 most significant upgrade in 25 years<\/li>\n<li><strong>Partners:<\/strong> General Dynamics, Collins Aerospace<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The Eye Above the Fleet<\/h2>\n\nEvery carrier strike group depends on the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye as its airborne early warning and control platform. Flying at 25,000 feet with its AN\/APY-9 radar rotating above the fuselage, the Hawkeye detects incoming threats \u2014 aircraft, missiles, surface vessels \u2014 at ranges exceeding 300 nautical miles and coordinates the air battle for every fighter, ship, and weapon system in the group.\n\nIn the ongoing operations against Iran, E-2Ds from the Ford and Lincoln carrier strike groups have been flying continuous patrols over the Persian Gulf, tracking Iranian air force movements, drone launches, and anti-ship missile threats. The aircraft&#8217;s ability to detect low-flying cruise missiles against sea clutter has proven critical in an environment where the IRGC regularly fires anti-ship weapons at commercial vessels.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=1214501271  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/0\/03\/E-2D_Advanced_Hawkeye_launch_141120-N-IG780-310.jpg\/960px-E-2D_Advanced_Hawkeye_launch_141120-N-IG780-310.jpg\" alt=\"E-2D Advanced Hawkeye airborne early warning aircraft\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">An E-2D Advanced Hawkeye \u2014 the Navy&#8217;s airborne early warning and control platform. The DREXR upgrade makes its radar dramatically harder to jam. (Wikimedia Commons)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">From Analogue to Software-Defined<\/h2>\n\nThe DREXR upgrade is deceptively simple in concept but transformative in effect. The E-2D&#8217;s radar receiver and exciter \u2014 the components that generate outgoing radar pulses and process returning echoes \u2014 were built with legacy analogue hardware designed decades ago. DREXR replaces this with a compact, fully digital system.\n\nThe practical impact is twofold. First, software-defined processing enables more precise beamforming \u2014 the ability to shape and steer the radar beam with greater accuracy. This means better detection of small targets (drones, cruise missiles, stealth aircraft) in cluttered environments. Second, the digital architecture provides dramatically greater resistance to advanced electronic jamming. Instead of following fixed analogue signal paths that an adversary can characterise and exploit, DREXR can adapt its waveforms and processing in real time.\n\nAgainst a peer adversary like China \u2014 whose electronic warfare capabilities are designed specifically to blind American sensors \u2014 this kind of adaptive resilience could be the difference between seeing the threat and flying blind.\n\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Block II: The Bigger Picture<\/h2>\n\nDREXR is part of the broader Block II upgrade, which Northrop Grumman describes as the most significant modernisation of the Hawkeye platform in a quarter century. The Block II package, being developed with General Dynamics and Collins Aerospace, will undergo its critical design review in May 2026, with production cut-in planned for aircraft deliveries starting in 2030.\n\nNorthrop Grumman also has a separate contract with the Office of Naval Research to explore what a future radar mission upgrade could look like \u2014 suggesting that even Block II is not the endgame. The Hawkeye&#8217;s rotodome has physical constraints that limit radar aperture, but software-defined processing can extract more performance from the existing antenna than analogue systems ever could.\n\nThe E-2D will remain the Navy&#8217;s airborne eyes for decades to come. DREXR ensures those eyes keep getting sharper.\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:28px\"><em>Sources: Aviation Week, FlightGlobal, Northrop Grumman<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The US Navy&#8217;s most important aircraft isn&#8217;t a fighter.
