Leaflet dispensers
AFSEO successfully built-up and measured the first of two Payload Delivery Unit-5 leaflet dispensers for B-52 flight test. These stores carry hockey puck-like rolls of paper that are employed to support psychological operations designed to counter adversary propaganda and influence the behavior of a targeted population.
