A group of American engineers has created a new gun for the flying battery directly supporting the AC-130 ground troops. The aircraft of the US Air Force (Air Force) will receive a new 105 millimeters caliber, reports The Drive.
In publications, it is noted that AC-130W Stinger II and AC-130J Ghostrider aircraft use the M102 Gaubice, which was adopted in 1964. In the ground forces, the weapon was replaced with a M119 game.
A group of engineers of the Navy Road Combat Rooms is working on creating a new warm-up game. A promising instrument will replace M102 on AC-130W and AC-130J aircraft.
It is reported that two prototypes of the new warmness created in the USA. Representatives of naval forces noted that a new tool will require less maintenance costs.
In November, the tests of a new gun began to test for a promising helicopter. The general dynamics XM915 is intended for a helicopter, which is developed as part of the Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (Fara) project.
In October, the US Air Force received a prototype of the AIRBORNE HIGH ENERGY LASER (AHEL) laser installation. The laser is designed to install on AC-130J. The installation power will not exceed 60 kilowatt.
