USAF Finally Test a Laser Weapon on Its AC-130J Gunship

Good Afternoon my Brothers and Sisters...
I just previewed an interesting video, which was just published to YouTube, dealing with a new a new Laser weapon for use on our USAF AC-130J Gunship... in support of our Ground Forces... I share this as general information for reference as it was not provided by the USAF.

Here is the description text included with the video...
One of the most fearsome planes in the U.S. Air Force arsenal is about to get a high tech upgrade. The service plans to test a laser weapon system aboard the AC-130J Ghostrider gunship in 2022, making it the first offensive laser weapon tested aboard an Air Force aircraft. The laser will give the gunship the ability to damage equipment and injure but not enemy combatants, a “less than lethal” capability the heavily armed airplane has lacked until now.

I hope you find this interesting,
Kerry
