The C-2 Greyhound has a vast range of communications and radio navigation equipment compatible for both military and civil airways on a worldwide basis. The communication equipments include HF, WHF and UHF. And for the radio navigation aids, it includes GPS, OMEGA, TACAN, dual VOR, UHF/DF, LF/ADF, weather radar, Doppler radar and two carrier approach systems.

The C-2 Greyhound can deliver a payload of 10,000 lb. The cabin of C-2 can accommodate cargo, passengers or even both. The C-2 Greyhound is also equipped to accept litter patients in medical evacuation missions. The cage system of C-2 aircraft provides cargo restraint for loads during carrier launch or landing.
