John M. Hicks; ARMY COMMAND AND GENERAL STAFF COLL FORT LEAVENWORTH KS
|
| This study considers the implications of video datalink (VDL) on the AC-130. Gunships use infrared and low-light television sensors, and synthetic aperture radar to search for and to identify target for close air support and interdiction missions. The addition of VDL offers gunship crews the ability to employ real-time information to the cockpit/offboard targeting (RTIC/OT) technology to improve situational awareness, survivability, and operational flexibility. ... |
