- AC-130 [r]: Heavily armed transport aircraft, based on the C-130 Hercules, used to provide air support to special operations forces. [e]
- AN- [r]: U.S. military nomenclature for electronic equipment, following the Joint Electronics Type Designation System [e]
- 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- APG-73 [r]: A mechanically-scanned radar midlife upgrade for the capable F-18 Hornet, which has been superceded by two phased-array radar generations on the F-18 Super Hornet.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 architecture including a variety of military systems, including armored fighting vehicles, unmanned ground vehicles, artillery, precision guided munitions and unmanned aerial vehicles; an evolutionary step in the restructuring of the United States Army and tailored to the brigade combat team organizational structure [e]
- Radar [r]: A contraction of radio direction and ranging, used for detecting and tracking targets, navigation, imagery, and special applications. [e]
- U.S. Navy [r]: The branch of the United States Armed Forces charged with sea operations [e]
