Navy plans call for full production contracts for the Group II Hawkeyes, the latest version of the radar aircraft, to be authorized and awarded under the 1995 and ’96 budgets. Four aircraft will be delivered in 1997 and three in ‘98, the company said in a news release. Total value for the production of the seven planes will be about $400 million.
