The AC-130W “Stinger II” gunships’ primary missions are close air support, air interdiction and armed reconnaissance. This highly modified C-130 features improved navigation, threat detection, countermeasures, and communication suites. The Stinger II is modified with a precesion strike package that provides ground forces an expeditionary, persistent direct fire platform that delivers precision low-yield munitions, ideally suited for close air-support and urban operations.
