The Naval Air Systems Command Hawkeye Greyhound program office (PMA-231) recently recognized two of Tech Wizards' senior tactical software analysts for their support of the E-2C Hawkeye program.

Jesse McCormick was presented with the PMA-231 Warfighter Award for sustained performance while supporting the E-2C tactical engineering team.

Todd McGuire was awarded a letter of appreciation for his personal commitment and performance in supporting the E-2C Single Integrated Air Picture project. McCormick and McGuire are stationed at Patuxent River Naval Air Station.

The E-2C is the Navy's all-weather, carrier-based, tactical battle management airborne early warning, command and control aircraft. The E-2C is a twin engine, five crewmember, high-wing turboprop aircraft with a 24-foot diameter radar rotodome attached to the upper fuselage. An integral component of the Carrier Battle Group air wing, the E-2C uses computerized radar, identification friend or foe and electronic surveillance sensors to provide early warning and threat analysis of potentially hostile air and surface targets.

"We are proud to be a contributor to the success of the E-2 program," said Mike Conceicao, executive vice president of Tech Wizards. "This is an example of our engineers' commitment to excellence in supporting the Navy."
