- AEGIS battle management system [r]: An integrated system of computers, radars, and other systems that provides integrated management of a shipboard suite of strategic strike, anti-surface warfare, ballistic missile defense and anti-air warfare principally using missiles in vertical launch systems; it complements other integrated systems for anti-submarine warfare and naval gunfire support [e]
- 5"-62 caliber gun [r]: The main gun for shore bombardment and some anti-surface warfare on newer U.S. Navy warships; the successor to 5"-54 caliber guns. [e]
- BGM-109 Tomahawk [r]: A U.S.-designed cruise missile, launched from vertical launch systems on ships and submarines, against land targets [e]
- Cooperative Engagement Capability [r]: A distributed computing and communications system principally aboard United States Navy warships, more than the AEGIS battle management system is often called. As opposed to the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System it does not share only the processed data from single sensors on single platforms, but shares a mutually computed model fusing all sensors [e]
- Naval Fire Control System [r]: Also known as the AN/SYQ-27, this is a system for assisting United States Navy and NATO gunfire support ashore, taking and deconflicting calls for fires, and passing signals to the actual gun system. [e]

- RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile [r]: A joint U.S.-German system for final defense against supersonic, sea-skimming anti-shipping missiles such as the Russian Moskit series, generically designated by NATO as SS-N-22 SUNBURN [e]
- RIM-156 Standard SM-2 [r]: Intended to be launched from the vertical launch system of AEGIS battle management system equipment ships, this is principally a long-range surface-to-air missile using semi-active radar homing with no over-the-horizon capability; it can accept midcourse guidance for its secondar anti-shipping missile capability and thus engage over-the-horizon targets [e]
- RIM-161 Standard SM-3 [r]: Theater anti-ballistic (i.e., midcourse and terminal phases) and anti-satellite missile, using hit-to-kill, launched from ships equipped with the AN/SPY-2 radar and AEGIS battle management system. [e]
