Yup, its also got a huge plethora of sensors (LLTV, FLIR, MMW Radar) and

Commo Gear. Knowing where to point the 105mm, the 40mm and the 20mm or 
7.62mm is rather important. Anyone know they had a jobbie on the AC130 
that allowed them to detect the RF emissions of truck alternators and 
home in on them over The Trail?

I did a stint at LockMart a few Years back, I know my LockMart hardware.
