Да, это был один из экспериментов использования CEC как элемента ПРО ТВД вместе с армией.
"An advanced concept and technology
demonstration program related
to CEC, called Wide Area
Defense, explores advanced sensor
cooperation and surface-to-air missile
terminal guidance support to
greatly extend force battlespace
with seamless coverage. A project
known as Mountaintop Phase 1 will
take place on Kokee Mountain in
Hawaii,
which serves as a surrogate
aircraft platform with a representative
sensor and terminal engagement
illuminator suite networked
via CEC to a CEC-equipped Aegis
cruiser.
...In a related effort, the Army and Navy have agreed
to initial mutual data collections during the Hawaii
Mountaintop testing to obtain data relevant to potential
Army use of an airborne fire control sensor for over-thehorizon
engagements and relevant to the potential contributions
of CEC Link 16 to joint air defense"
До этого, в 1994 г. проводились эксперименты и с кораблями.

Факт-то в том, что и в испытаниях 1996 г. отрабатывалось загоризонтное уничтожение мишеней с помощью удаленного целеуказания.
В итоге, в 2004 г. Avionics magazine писал:
"Raytheon today has delivered approximately 98 production sets of CEC equipment — for both air and surface combatants — with about 180 to go. Eight Hawkeye 2000s so far have been equipped with CEC, the Navy says. This version of the aircraft also includes voice satcom and a new mission computer." (
