- APG-63 [r]: A radar system for F-15 Eagle and, in its fourth version, F-15E Strike Eagle fighters [e]
- APG-70 [r]: An evolutionary branch, which added ground mapping as well as air-to-air tracking & fire control, of the AN/APG-63 radar of the F-15 Eagle air superiority fighter. It was introduced for the F-15E Strike Eagle fighter-bomber variant, and its function will reconverge into the AN/APG-63 series as V(4). [e]
- APG-73 [r]: A mechanically-scanned radar midlife upgrade for the capable F-18 Hornet, which has been superseded by two phased-array radar generations on the F-18 Super Hornet. [e]
- APQ-181 [r]: Emphasing low probability of intercept, the active radar on the stealthy, radar-evading B-2 Spirit bomber [e]
- Avionics [r]: Electronic components and subsystems integrated into the core functions of an aircraft. [e]
- Directed energy weapon [r]: Weapons that do not use explosive force or direct thermal effects to damage, but achieve their effects by means of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, acoustic energy or possibly charged particle beams [e]
- F-15 Eagle [r]: A series of air superiority fighters, designed for the United States Air Force and flown by several countries; intended for the high role in the high-low mix; The F-15E Strike Eagle is a multirole fighter variant. [e]
- F-15 series fighter aircraft [r]: A series of fourth-generation air-to-air and all-weather fighter-bomber aircraft developed by the U.S. Air Force as the high end of a "high-low" mix with the F-16 Fighting Falcon; used by several friendly countries and has the best air-to-air combat record of any operational fighter [e]
- F-16 Fighting Falcon [r]: A relatively lightweight land-based multirole fighter, developed by the United States Air Force; co-produced with Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and Portugal; operated by many nations and to be replaced by the F-35A Lightning II. The F-16CJ model is optimized for SEAD. [e]
- F-18 Hornet [r]: A relatively lightweight carrier-capable multirole fighter, developed by the United States Navy and used by several nations, including Canada, in land-based roles; a fourth-generation fighter gradually being replaced by the F-18E/F Super Hornet, and then the F-35. [e]
- F-18 Super Hornet [r]: A new generation of carrier-based fighter beyond the F-18 Hornet, this evolution provides an architecture with even greater expansion, especially with the AN/APG-79 AESA radar, more powerful computers and communications, and a new engine with longer range. [e]
- Fire control (disambiguation) [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Future Combat Systems [r]: An cancelled development program,including a variety of military systems, including armored fighting vehicles, unmanned ground vehicles, artillery, precision guided munitions and unmanned aerial vehicles; was an evolutionary step in the restructuring of the United States Army and tailored to the brigade combat team organizational structure but will continue partially in the Brigade Combat Team Modernization [e]
- Radar [r]: A contraction of radio direction and ranging, used for detecting and tracking targets, navigation, imagery, and special applications. [e]
