Long-awaited Air Force 'laser weapon' in danger of being scrapped: report
Fox News
The Air Force's Airborne High Energy Laser, or AHEL, will not be used on the AC-130J gunship after the weapon missed a flight test window that would have allowed its use.
Air Force Special Operations Command had been pursuing the idea of mounting a high-energy laser on fixed-wing aircraft since 2015, according to the report, with Lockheed Martin receiving a contract in 2019 to demonstrate such a system on the AC-130J.
