Eric Forsyth, U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) Program Executive Office (PEO) Fixed Wing director, recognized the team for crucial contributions to the Precision Strike Package weapon system aboard the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) AC-130W Stinger II platform at a June SOCOM ceremony. The overall AC-130W SOCOM team - including those from NSWC Crane and Dahlgren Divisions, PEO-Fixed Wing, Eglin Air Force Base, and the U.S. Special Operations Forces Support Activity - won the Program of the Year for PEO Fixed Wing. The AC-130W Stinger II primary missions are close air support and air interdiction. Close air support missions include troops in contact, convoy escort, and point air defense. Air interdiction missions are conducted against preplanned targets or targets of opportunity, including strike coordination and reconnaissance. The same team also won the Special Operations Forces Acquisition Innovator Award for integrating new warfighting capabilities into the AC-130J. The AC-130J is the Special Operations Forces next generation gunship.
