rdenn_58 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Here's a pic of one of the gunships that was parked among our E's and H's in the desert about 5 years ago. I was fortunate to get a tour of one. I don't think my lower jaw got off the floor for hours after they showed me all the bells and whistles. What a great plane!!! One of the guys that worked for me got a hold of an expended 40mm casing, cut it down, shined it up, and gave it to me right before I left. Still have that on display at my job!

MAXTORQ Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) LAIRCM is a lazer that is SUPPOSED to defeat missles by blinding the IFR camera on the nose. The sensors are both above the flight deck windows , beaver tail. The lazer defeat are mounted aft of the troop doors .

MAXTORQ Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) If you look at the first picture . Focus on #1 Prop #3 blade , just aft of the blade in the picture you will see the mounted LAIRCM pod.

topboltsto400 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) OK I give up I have searched the net and still no answer, whats LIRCUM ? try searching for LAIRCM pronounced like that but...it's actually an acronym...Large Aircraft Infa Red Counter Measure and not trying to be to knit picky, but I think the U-boats actually have DIRCM...same but different..Digital in place of Large...
