AFSOC’s AC-130s will soon be able to deploy tube-launched UAVs

U.S. Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) has initiated one quick concept-demonstrator program to employ a tube-launched small unmanned aerial vehicle from the AC-130 gunship.



The Raytheon-Sensintel Coyote UAV was selected for this demonstrator program. A longer term project will seek to find a UAV with an endurance of one hour.
