AN / AAQ - 26 The AN / AAQ - 26 is a second generation infrared detection set manufactured by Raytheon . The infrared detecting set is a high - performance multipurpose thermal imaging sensor , providing long - range navigation , surveillance , and fire control capabilities . The AAQ - 26 features a second - generation focal plane array , electronic image stabilization , local area processing , and an adaptable interface . Additional features include a dual mode video tracker , a 1553 data bus or discrete controls , and multiple fields of view . Because the system passively detects energy in the far infrared ( heat ) wavelength s , it avoids the disadvantages of active sensors , such as night vision or radar , minimizing the amount of detectable energy emitted by the aircraft . The system replaced the AN / AAQ - 17 and is deployed on the AC - 130H and the AC - 130U gunship s ; it is designed to support a wide variety of platforms and missions .
