The modifications were done at <a href="/wiki/Wright-Patterson_Air_Force_Base" title="Wright-Patterson Air Force Base">Wright-Patterson Air Force Base</a> by the Aeronautical Systems Division. A direct-view <a href="/wiki/Night_vision_device" class="mw-redirect" title="Night vision device">night-vision telescope</a> was installed in the forward door, an early <a href="/wiki/Forward-looking_infrared" title="Forward-looking infrared">forward-looking infrared</a> device was placed in the forward part of the left wheel well, with miniguns and rotary cannons fixed facing down and aft along the left side. The <a href="/wiki/Analog_computer" title="Analog computer">analog</a> <a href="/wiki/Fire-control_computer" class="mw-redirect" title="Fire-control computer">fire-control computer</a> prototype was handcrafted by Wing Commander Tom Pinkerton at the USAF Avionics Laboratory at Wright-Patterson AFB. Flight testing of the prototype was performed primarily at <a href="/wiki/Eglin_Air_Force_Base" title="Eglin Air Force Base">Eglin Air Force Base</a>, followed by further testing and modifications. By September 1967, the aircraft was certified ready for combat testing and was flown to <a href="/wiki/Nha_Trang_Air_Base" title="Nha Trang Air Base">Nha Trang Air Base</a>, <a href="/wiki/South_Vietnam" title="South Vietnam">South Vietnam</a>, for a 90-day test program.<a href="#cite_note-USAF_Nat_Museum-12">[12]</a> The AC-130 was later supplemented by the <a href="/wiki/Fairchild_AC-119" title="Fairchild AC-119">AC-119 Shadow</a> (Project Gunship III), which later proved to be underpowered. Seven more airframes were converted to the "Plain Jane" configuration like the AC-130 prototype in 1968,<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> and one aircraft received the "Surprise Package" refit in 1969.<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> The Surprise Package upgrade included the latest <a href="/wiki/20_mm_caliber" title="20 mm caliber">20 mm</a> rotary autocannons and <a href="/wiki/Bofors_40_mm_Automatic_Gun_L/60" class="mw-redirect" title="Bofors 40 mm Automatic Gun L/60">40 mm Bofors cannon</a>, but no 7.62 mm close-support armament. The Surprise Package configuration served as a test bed for the avionic systems and armament for the AC-130E. In 1970, 10 more AC-130As were acquired under the "Pave Pronto" project.<a href="#cite_note-Pave_Pronto-16">[16]</a> In the summer of 1971, Surprise Package AC-130s were converted to the Pave Pronto configuration and assumed the new nickname of "Thor".

This 13-hour mission with two in-flight refuelings from <a href="/wiki/Boeing_KC-135_Stratotanker" title="Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker">KC-135</a> tankers proved the validity of flying long-range missions outside the <a href="/wiki/Contiguous_United_States" title="Contiguous United States">contiguous United States</a> to attack targets then return to home base without intermediate stops.

AC-130 strikes were directed by special forces on known Taliban locations during the early days of the war in Afghanistan. US Special Operations Forces used the AC-130 to support its operations. The day after arriving in Afghanistan, the AC-130s attacked Taliban and Al-Qaeda forces near the city of Kunduz and were directly responsible for the city's surrender the next day.

In March 2002, three AC-130 Spectres provided 39 crucial combat missions in support of <a href="/wiki/Operation_Anaconda" title="Operation Anaconda">Operation Anaconda</a> in Afghanistan.

Night after night, at least one AC-130 was in the air to fulfill one or more air-support requests (ASRs). A typical mission had the AC–130 supporting a single brigade's ASRs followed by aerial refueling and another two hours with another brigade or SOF team. The use of AC-130s in places like Fallujah, urban settings where insurgents were among crowded populations of non-combatants, was criticized by human rights groups. AC-130s were also used for intelligence gathering with their sophisticated long-range video, infrared and radar sensors.
