America’s E-2D Hawkeye Gains AI-Driven Maintenance, Virtual Training Systems

A modernization push for the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye is bringing augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), AI, and machine learning to its maintenance and training ecosystem, aiming to speed up repairs and improve technician performance across the fleet.

Armor sits at the core of the effort, projecting animated, step-by-step maintenance instructions directly onto aircraft components through tablets or AR headsets.

It gives maintainers a digital “x-ray” view of Hawkeye while reducing training and labor time, allowing the platform to return to operations in hours instead of weeks.
