From the National Defense website
ORLANDO, Florida — Air Force Special Operations Command is “months to maybe a year out” from flight testing a directed energy weapon aboard an AC-130 gunship, its leader said March 3.
Feedback from initial tests of the capability at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, have allowed the command move forward with a proof of concept phase, said Lt. Gen. Marshall “Brad” Webb at the Air Force Association’s annual Air Warfare Symposium.
