Zitat:France receives US approval for E-2C Hawkeye supporthttps://www.naval-technology.com/news/fr...e-support/
The US State Department greenlights a foreign military sale to the Government of France to enhance the sustainment capabilities of its E-2C Hawkeye fleet. [...]
The sustainment package encompasses an Engine Component Improvement Program, software updates, technical publications, US Government and contractor technical/product support, assistance, and other logistics and program support elements necessary for maintaining the operational readiness of the E-2C Hawkeye fleet. [...] In 2013, France equipped the E-2C Hawkeye aircraft with Northrop’s IFF system, an upgraded identification friend or foe (IFF) system to enhance commonality and interoperability with the US Navy’s E-2D Advanced Hawkeye aircraft.
Implementation of the sale will involve occasional visits by US government personnel to France for program oversight and support requirements. Additionally, one contractor personnel will be permanently assigned to France to provide technical oversight, training, and maintenance support.
