AFSOC Adds Artificial Intelligence To Armory; Still Eyes Lasers

AFA ORLANDO: Air Force Special Operations Command doesn’t speak much in public, for obvious reasons. The commander pretty much appears once a year here to speak with reporters, and for the last three years, mounting lasers on AC-130 gunships has been a top topic.
The former AFSOC commander, Lt. Gen. Bradley Heithold, first announced the service’s intention to put a frickin’ laser on the awe-inspiring gunship, famed for the 105mm cannon it fires.
Since then, things appeared to have slowed a bit, with his successor committed but less enthusiastic.
