- AN- [r]: U.S. military nomenclature for electronic equipment, following the Joint Electronics Type Designation System [e]
- Air defense artillery [r]: A combat arms branch of the United States Army, responsible for defending ground forces and the continental United States against aircraft and missile attack [e]
- Anti-ballistic missile [r]: A guided missile that is capable of destroying a ballistic missile, usually by "hit-to-kill" physical collision during boost phase, midcourse, or terminal phase of the target's trajectory [e]
- Anti-radiation missile [r]: A guided missile that attacks radar transmitters [e]
- Anti-satellite missile [r]: A weapon, launched from inside the atmosphere, intended to destroy an orbiting satellite. [e]
- Arrow (missile) [r]: A high-altitude anti-ballistic missile, co-developed by Israel and the United States, intended to engage theater ballistic missiles above the range of the complementary MIM-104 Patriot [e]
- Ballistic missile defense [r]: A combination of sensors, command and control systems, and missile/warhead kill mechanisms that protect a region, or, in the case of the U.S., theaters of operations as well as the nation proper. [e]
- Battle damage assessment [r]: Determination of the effects of application of lethal or nonlethal military force; made up of physical damage assessment, functional damage assessment, and target system damage assessmeny [e]
- Counter-rocket, artillery and mortar [r]: Military equipment and techniques to detect unguided rockets, artillery shells, and mortar rounds in flight, warn friendly forces that are threatened, and, with new methods, intercept and destroy the projectiles before they can do damage [e]
- Forward Area Air Defense [r]: A U.S. military command and control system for managing air defense, which includes both artillery/air deconfliction and counter-rocket, artillery and mortar missions, near the main battle line, typically under brigade control [e]
- Guided missile [r]: A weapon that flies through air or space, under its own power, which adjusts its course to hit its target. [e]

- Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck [r]: Standard modular heavy truck series for the United States Army [e]
- Hit-to-kill [r]: The infliction of damage by a weapon, which does not depend on other than mechanical energy transfer. At the low end, it can be as simple as a bullet hitting a nonmoving target, and at the high end, it can include the immense energies of a collision between an incoming ballistic missile and an intercept vehicle. It is a subset of kinetic kill, which includes explosives and other physically destructive "hard kill" mechanisms. [e]
- Integrated air defense system [r]: An air defense that combines radar, anti-aircraft artillery, surface-to-air missiles, and fighter aircraft, presenting multiple layers of defense under systematic command and control [e]

- Kongo-class [r]: Destroyers currently in service with the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force (i.e., Japanese Navy), which are licensed copies of the U.S. Burke-class and are being upgraded for ballistic missile defense [e]
- MIM-23 HAWK [r]: A surface-to-air missile obsolete in U.S. service, which may still be used by a few allies; the launcher can be upgraded to take the Norwegian ground-launched version of the AIM-120 AMRAAM missile [e]
- MPQ-53 [r]: Tracking and launch control radar for the U.S. Army MIM-104 Patriot anti-ballistic and high-altitude anti-aircraft missile [e]
