Description: The primary mission of the modified AC-130W aircraft is to provide close air support, force protection, integrated base defense, strike control and reconnaissance, air interdiction, and convoy escort to troops in contact. This is accomplished through installation of a Precision Strike Package (PSP) to the baseline configured AC-130W, known as the Stinger II. It provides combatant commanders additional fixed wing gunship precision fire support that consists of both Commercial Off-The Shelf (COTS) and Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) pieces for armed over-watch of friendly ground forces, situational awareness to command and control elements of supported ground forces, precision fires for close air support (CAS) and troops in contact (TIC), and armed reconnaissance capability against enemy personnel and other soft targets. Secondary missions for the Stinger II aircraft will include combat search and rescue, non-traditional intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, command and control, cargo delivery and movement of personnel. 2. Program Objectives: United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) plans to solicit a Non-Developmental Item (NDI) Digital Video Recorders (DVR) for the Stinger II Program capable of recording aircrew audio that is synchronized with video from sensors installed inside the aircraft and/or portable carry-on receivers.
