Although the accuracy of the sidefiring AC-130 aircraft is excellent relative to other weapon systems, a detailed error analysis reveals that the pilot is by far the primary source of remaining error. This report concludes that the accuracy of his pointing the aircraft could be dramatically improved if the sight line were aimed automatically. The sight line autopilot is designed to meet this need. The autopilot design accounts for the linearized motions of the sight line as seen in the pilot's reference frame and adjoins these to the aircraft attitude states and two oscillating wind states.
