The Advanced Hawkeye's new radar is a revolutionary breakthrough in term of reconnaissance and surveillance. It allows for a 300% increase in range. According to an analyst for the Lexington Institute, this airplane is probably capable of observing the popping of pistachios in Iran. Besides, there are already two test planes forwarded to the US Navy and its development is said to be on track. However, due to budget cuts this plane will probably be grounded for a year longer.

Price tag: $232 million
