Lockheed Martin AC-130J Ghostrider - Tautoko Rererangi Rererangi Hou o Amerika
Lockheed Martin AC-130J Kaieke Wairua
Hei te tau 2022, ka whakamahere te US Air Force Special Operations Command ki te whakauru i nga rererangi tautoko rangi whawhai hou e 37, kua tohua ko te AC-130J Ghostrider, ki te mahi. Kaore i rite ki nga tauira o mua, ka mauria e ratou nga patu rererangi arataki penei i nga poma hover and missiles rangi-ki-whenua. Kei roto i te mahere whakahirahira ko te whakakii i a raatau ki nga patu laser me nga drones reconnaissance tuku.
I te tau 2010, i whakauruhia e te United States Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) ki nga waka pu AC-130H Specter e waru me nga 17 AC-130U Spooky II. Ko te mahere ko te hoko i tetahi papaaho hou hei whakakapi i te AC-130H kua tawhito, me te AC-130U teina. I taua wa, ko te United States Air Force (USAF), me nga ope o te whenua, i uru ki tetahi kaupapa mo te hoko o Alenia C-27J Spartan waka rererangi (JCA - Joint Cargo Aircraft). Kei te anga a AFSOC ki te hanga i tetahi momo iti ake o te kaipuke whawhai e kiia nei ko te AC-27J Stinger II i to ratou turanga. Heoi, i te mutunga, na te tangohanga o te US Air Force mai i te kaupapa JCA, i taka hoki te whakaaro ki te hoko i nga kaipuke whawhai mahanga iti ake.
Hei otinga whakawhiti, katahi ka whakatauhia kia 14 nga waka kawe waka motuhake o te momo MC-130W Combat Spear mo te whakamahi hei kaipuke whawhai. I whakamahia e te AFSOC te wheako o te Marine Corps (USMC) i te whakatinanatanga o te kaupapa HARVEST Hawk. Hei waahanga, kua whakawhanakehia e te Marine Corps tetahi kete taapiri, na reira ka taea te whakarereke i te waka rererangi KC-130J ki te mahi i nga miihana tautoko hau i te wa poto.
Ko te MC-130W he taputapu e kiia nei ko te Precision Strike Package (PSP). Kei roto i te kete PSP kotahi te ATK GAU-23/A 30mm tauranga cannon (he putanga whakahou o te ATK Mk 44 Bushmaster II cannon), e rua nga pou o raro, he Pūnaha Gunslinger (he kaiwhakarewa tekau-paera e mau ana ki runga i te reiti uta uta o te waka rererangi) ka mau ki raro i te taha maui o te ruuma tauranga taputapu matua mahunga punaha arahi infrared
AN/AAQ-38 FLIR me BMS (Punaha Whakahaere Pakanga). Ko te kaiwhakarewa Gunslinger ka taea e koe te kawe i nga patu tino tika, e mohiotia ana ko SOPGM (Stand-off Precision Guided Munitions), ara, AGM-175 Griffin missiles me GBU-44 / B Viper Strike glide bombs. I runga i nga pou o raro, ka taea e te MC-130W te kawe e waru AGM-114 Hallfire aratakina missiles me/ranei e waru GBU-39 SDB poma pū. Ko te AC-130W ano hoki kua whakarereketia kia mahi tahi me te JHMCS II (Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing System) he punaha whainga potae. Ko te MC-130W Combat Spear i hangaia i te PSP i tapaina tuatahi ko te AC-130W Dragon Spear, heoi i whakaingoatia mana ratou ko Stinger II i Mei 2012.
Ko te whakamutunga o te tekau ma wha AC-130W i whakawhiwhia e AFSOC i Mahuru 2013. Na te tono o te waka rererangi AC-130W ka taea te tango i nga mea tawhito
AS-130N (ko te mea whakamutunga i tangohia i te marama o Haratua 2015) me te whakakii ano i te kaipuke AS-130U. Heoi, ko te whakatau i whaaia ko te hoko i tetahi papaaho hou hei whakakapi i te AC-130U me te AC-130W "waahanga".

Ko nga topatopa whawhai hou i hangaia i runga i te kaupapa o Hercules hou mo nga mahi motuhake MC-130J Commando II. I timata enei waka rererangi ki te mahi i te marama o Hepetema 2011. Ko te kirimana $2,4 piriona i hainatia me Lockheed Martin e whakarato ana mo te hoko mai i nga waka rererangi MC-32J e 130, ka tohua ko AC-130J ina huri hei mahi mo nga kaipuke whawhai. I te mutunga, i piki te puna hoko ki te 37 nga pihi. Ko te hurihanga MC-130J ki te paerewa AC-130J ka mahia i Eglin Air Force Base i Florida.
I te marama o Haratua 2012, ka whakawhiwhia te waka taua hou ki te ingoa mana ko Ghostrider. Ko te Arotake Hoahoa Tuatahi (PDR) mo te kaupapa AC-103J i oti i te Maehe 2103. I paahitia e te waka rererangi te Operational Test Readiness Review (OTRR) me te Arotake Whakamutunga Whakamutunga (CRT) i te marama i muri mai. I rere te AC-130J tuatahi i te 31 o Hanuere 2014.
Ko te Ghostrider he 29,8 m te roa, 11,8 m te teitei me te whanui o nga parirau 40,4 m Ka taea e ia te eke ki te teitei teitei o te 8500 m me te kawenga o te 21 tons. Te taumaha o te tangohanga teitei
AC-130J te taumaha 74 kg. Ko te waka rererangi e wha nga miihini turboprop Rolls-Royce AE 390 D2100 e whakawhanake ana i te 3 kW ia. Ko nga miihini e mau ana ki nga peera Dowty e ono nga mata. Te tere tere - 3458 km / h, ko te awhe o te rererangi (kaore he whakakii i te rangi) - 660 km. Ka taea e te Ghostrider te whakakii i te rangi na te UARRSI (Ubiversal Aerial Receptacle Slipway Installation) he punaha whakangau hinu. Ko te waka rererangi he taputapu hiko me te kaha o te 5500/48 kW, e whakarato ana i te toenga o te naianei tika, e taea ai te kawe i te whakahoutanga me te whakarereketanga o te waka rererangi a meake nei.
