Underneath view of a AFSOC AC-130h Gunship.
The aircraft features a series of sensor pods such as a FLIR turret under the nose.
The pods located towards the rear of the fuselage belong to the AN/AAQ-24 Directional Infrared Countermeasures (DIRCM) system.
The DIRCM aims an IR jamming signal at incoming heat-seeking missiles.
