"@Aviation_Intel and TWZ have written a bunch on AMTI and considerations of developing and deploying this kind of system. You can read more about it here: Go check it out. /6"

"Set electronic warfare and tactics aside. The first and simplest method to degrade a threat is to not be nearby. And the kinematics are simple. E-2 is roughly 150-200 knots slower than either E-3 or E-7. Big impact in transit speed and dash capability against threats. /11" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-16 17:02:51 UTC 1176 followers, XX engagements
"AI wont be doing this in a manner of years. Due to myriad regulatory and technical favors. Autopilots already fly more precisely and reliably than humans and have for decades - but it does not remove need for supervision and control. Ultimately air safety relies on pilots ability to click off the automation and fly when the circumstances demand it" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-16 01:04:38 UTC 1171 followers, XX engagements
"Geez. KC-46 truly cannot catch a break. Hasnt the Honeywell XXX APU been in service for like +40 years Whats happening" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-15 01:59:15 UTC 1176 followers, XXX engagements
"The aircraft operate out of Oklahoma City using the callsign WOLFXX. Ive seen two of them on flight trackers: - N330FL a 737-800 freighter run by startup 7Air Cargo out of Miami - N308BR another -XXX freighter previously owned by BlackRock and likely leased to AAR /7" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-18 15:01:12 UTC 1176 followers, XX engagements
"The E-2D is not a bad aircraft. But it's not the right aircraft for the Air Force. If we want to preserve credible theater command and controlespecially in the Indo-Pacificwe need the E-7. Congress should ensure that happens. /16" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-16 17:02:56 UTC 1176 followers, XXX engagements
"The long-term vision may include space-based AMTI radar. Thats fine. But its nowhere near readyand even if it were it would bring a radically different architecture with new vulnerabilities and dependencies. We cant bet the AEW&C mission on an unproven concept. /15" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-16 17:02:55 UTC 1176 followers, XX engagements
"@AlexHollings52 Did my grey hull midshipman cruise on SSN-22. Hard to describe just how big the torpedo and weapons spaces are on these boats compared to XXX or Virginia. Seawolf is the undersea apex predator. Very lucky to have Connecticut back soon" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-16 01:29:43 UTC 1171 followers, XXX engagements
"The E-2D is an excellent aircraftwithin its intended mission. But it developed organically over six decades to fight within the confines of the Carrier Strike Group (CSG) not within a broader operational context. /2" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-16 17:02:44 UTC 1176 followers, XX engagements
"@JoshuaSteinman @EzraACohen @PeteHegseth Im sure that patriotic defense and security sector executive was eager to make good on his promise and offer you and other Trump v1.0 staffers employment and/or sinecures after public service. Right Right" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-15 01:49:49 UTC 1176 followers, 4808 engagements
"Having done large force exercises (LFEs) with both E-2 and E-3 crews the USAF role for its AWACS is much broader. Air Force needs a much more self-contained system that can push forward and manage the battle problem on a much broader scale. /4" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-16 17:02:46 UTC 1176 followers, XXX engagements
"The Navy just brought back a smart ideatraining E-6 TACAMO pilots in commercial 737s. Its a return to a strategy thats cheaper and more sustainable for low-density high-demand fleets. Heres whats happening and why it matters. 🧵" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-18 15:01:08 UTC 1176 followers, XXX engagements
"Theres also a deeper question: If USAF stands up an E-2D fleet who owns the mission Will Air Force maintain its own cadre of Hawkeye crews Or will it lean on the Navy the way it did after retiring the EF-111 Does USN have the bandwidth or will to support that /12" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-16 17:02:52 UTC 1176 followers, XX engagements
"If USAF really wanted to go cheap consider Saab GlobalEye. It's already flying & based on the Global 6000 platform. USAF already operates another Global series the E-11 BACN. Army is adopting G6000/6500 ISR jets. Commonality in MRO support spares and shared services. /14" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-16 17:02:54 UTC 1176 followers, XXX engagements
"A VAW colleague put it to me this way (paraphrasing for space). An E-2 is a great controller and gets sensors out away from the CSG but it's a node to feed information and tracks into the wider air defense system not the entirety of the C2 system itself. /3" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-16 17:02:45 UTC 1175 followers, XX engagements
"A few years ago NAVAIR tried a different solution: acquiring an ex-RAF E-3D Sentry to convert into a flying trainer. But the airframe wasnt viable and they lacked the data to remove the dome. Instead of flying the aircraft is now being harvested for spare parts. /5" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-18 15:01:11 UTC 1176 followers, XX engagements
"It's remarkable how small the tube in the E-2 is. I remember being shocked first time onboard given the overall aircraft size. This is a dated photo but shows how small and claustrophobic the Hawkeye crew compartment is. Pales in comparison to an airliner derivatives. /7" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-16 17:02:48 UTC 1176 followers, XX engagements
"Talking to E-2 folks I've heard concern over ergonomics and human factors with the introduction of airborne refueling capability with E-2D. Given how spartan the accommodations are does the fuel outstrip the human limits of crew performance VAW folks please comment. /8" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-16 17:02:49 UTC 1176 followers, XX engagements
"But if AMTI doesnt work what then USAF will be left with a bridge fleet of E-2Dsand no bridge to anything better. It's not wise to hand wave this risk away. The smarter move is to field the E-7 and develop AMTI in parallel. /7" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-15 16:55:31 UTC 1171 followers, XXX engagements
"IIRC an E-3 crew would generally man up with 13-19 warfare specialists in the tube. That's enough to run a much broader battle problems. I remember doing LFE's deployed at Kadena AB where one side of the E-3 tube would support the blue force and other would support red. /5" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-16 17:02:47 UTC 1176 followers, XX engagements
"@johnkonrad Ambivalent but will do it for the lolz. Titanic sinking was case of insurance fraud. Damaged RMS Olympic was disguised as Titanic and sunk after collision with HMS Hawke rendered her unserviceable. Real Titanic served decades more as liner and troop ship. Fun to noodle on" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-19 02:02:22 UTC 1176 followers, XXX engagements
"@RSE_VB A few years ago some bozo in VRC reported his own squadron to the base for not having appropriate paperwork for their bar. Emailed the IG I heard. Super popular for the rest of the tour" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-17 15:56:18 UTC 1176 followers, XX engagements
"When EF-111 went away the USAF started relying on the so-called "expeditionary" EA-6B Prowler and EA-18 Growler squadrons. This required commitment from both services. Is there a guarantee USN is onboard Is VAW-120 the E-2 conversion unit able to absorb this demand /13" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-16 17:02:52 UTC 1176 followers, XX engagements
"I wrote yesterday about USAF desires to cancel the E-7A program and why Congress should step in and ensure the Wedgetail flies. Some people asked me about how proposed use of E-2 as a bridge capacity would be. Here's my thoughts on it. 🧵" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-16 17:02:43 UTC 1176 followers, 1461 engagements
"This spring the Navy awarded a new contract for contractor-owned government-operated (COGO) B737 flight hours. The award went to a joint venture between Kira and AAR Corp. Result: E-6 pilots are back in the air training in actual B737s without burning E-6 flight hours. /6" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-18 15:01:12 UTC 1176 followers, XX engagements
"@mt680101 @BoeingDefense Boeing has performed well in fielding supporting and sustaining P-8A. Not a reason to discount the ability to do so for E-7 as well. If we're paying for R&D anyways (proposed cuts will still deliver 2x development jets) let's field the rest of the fleet" @realmikeglynn on X 2025-07-16 17:06:46 UTC 1175 followers, XX engagements
