Northrop Grumman E-10 MC2A

The Northrop Grumman E-10 MC2A ( Multi-Sensor Command and Control Aircraft) is the name for a reconnaissance aircraft for the U.S. Air Force, which does not make it past the development stage.

The E-10 should use as a starting pattern, the B767- 400ER of the U.S. aircraft manufacturer Boeing and receive extensive radar and electronic equipment for ground surveillance, reconnaissance, target recognition and tracking, and electronic warfare. In these functions, the MC2A should first replace the E-8 Joint STARS, and RC -135 Rivet Joint, and later the E-3 Sentry.

In May 2003, Northrop Grumman, Boeing and Raytheon were awarded the contract to build a prototype and four production machines. Reductions in the funding of the program prompted the USAF in March 2005 to lay down their development for five years, so that after these plans had not been expected before 2015 with an insert.

For the financial year 2007, the Air Force reduced in January 2006 again the E-10 project. Thus, only a machine to be built on the technology demonstration. End of February 2007, the USAF stopped the planned program for the integration of radar and communications technology and gave the E-10 program for cost reasons finally fully on.
