Cope North

ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam - Japan Air Self Defense Force air crew members direct and watch as the pilots extend the wings on a E-2C Hawkeye here after returning from an exercise during Cope North Feb. 5. The large 24ft diameter circular antenna radome above the rear fuselage is a radar system that is capable of tracking more than 2,000 targets and controlling the interception of 40 hostile targets. One radar sweep covers six million cubic miles. The radar's total radiation aperture control antenna reduces sidelobes and is robust against electronic countermeasures. It is capable of detecting aircraft at ranges greater than 550km. The E-2Cs are deployed to Guam from the 601st Squadron, Misawa Air Base.
