- AIM-120 AMRAAM [r]: A high-performance. beyond-visual-range, air-to-air missile with inertial midcourse guidance and active radar terminal guidane, developed by the U.S. and used on the aircraft of a number of countries, as well as in surface-to-air missile variants [e]
- AN- [r]: U.S. military nomenclature for electronic equipment, following the Joint Electronics Type Designation System [e]

- Air Combat Command [r]: The United States Air Force headquarters responsibility for preparing and training resources for the operational Unified Combatant Commands, as well as doctrinal development [e]
- Air refueling [r]: Transferring fuel from one aircraft to another while both are in flight. [e]
- Air, artillery and missile defense [r]: An integrated approach to defending surface forces against all types of weapons that fly through the atmosphere or space; a radar may detect artillery shells, helicopters, or missiles, while a close-in gun may shoot down any of them [e]
- Airborne Warning and Control System [r]: An airplane that carries early warning radars, possibly weapons control radars, and communications to link it with combat aircraft and ground facilities. It may have an onboard battle staff, or link to a staff on the ground. [e]
- Anti-radiation missile [r]: A guided missile that attacks radar transmitters [e]
- C3I-ISR [r]: Command, control, communications and intelligence, combined with intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance [e]
- Combat search and rescue [r]: The location and rescue of military and civilian personnel in hostile areas, such that a military operation is necessary to retrieve them [e]
- Cooperative Engagement Capability [r]: A distributed computing and communications system principally aboard U.S. 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]
- E-2 Hawkeye [r]: Designed for the U.S. Navy and used by several other countries, this radar aircraft minimally carries out the airborne early warning function and a modest airborne warning and control system (AWACS), the latter enhanced by "virtual workstations" on linked ships [e]
- E-6 TACAMO [r]: An aircraft, operated by the U.S. Navy from a U.S. Air Force base, which is dual-capable for carrying a airborne battle staff, and a communications relay to missile submarines, for carrying out the Single Integrated Operational Plan [e]
- E-8 Joint STARS [r]: A radar aircraft optimized for surveillance of a large land or sea area, returning both tracks and identification of moving vehicles, or radar imaging of the surface. [e]
- EC-130 (disambiguation) [r]: Add brief definition or description
- EC-130 ABCCC [r]: EC-130 aircraft modified to accept a modular Airborne Battlefield Command and Control Center (ABCCC); the capability is being transferred to E-3 Sentry and E-8 Joint STARS [e]
- Eighth Air Force [r]: The organization currently "owning" the bombers, information operations, and most intelligence aircraft of the United States Air Force; it conducted strategic bombing against Germany in the Second World War [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]
- FIM-92 Stinger [r]: A second-generation United States Army surface-to-air missile that can be fired from a soldier's shoulder, from vehicle-mounted launchers, and, in an air-to-air missile configuration, from attack helicopters. Uses combined infrared-ultraviolet guidance to resist countermeasures. [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]
- France [r]: Western European republic (population c. 64.1 million; capital Paris) extending across Europe from the English Channel in the north-west to the Mediterranean in the south-east; bounded by Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Spain; founding member of the European Union. Colonial power in Southeast Asia until 1954. [e]
- Global Information Grid [r]: The overall computing and communications architecture and systems interconnecting the U.S. Department of Defense military and civilian organizations, other government agencies, and allied nations; information is at the strategic/theater and operational, not tactical levels [e]
- Gulf War [r]: The conflict started by the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, and ended with the liberation of Kuwait and major damage to Iraqi forces, by a US-led UN coalition in 1991. [e]
- HAVE QUICK II [r]: A family of military UHF jam-resistant radios, intended for air-to-air and air-to-ground use [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]
- Intelligence cycle management [r]: The continuous process by which intelligence priorities are set, raw information collected, information analyzed, the processed information disseminated, and the next set or priorities set. [e]
- Joint Tactical Information Distribution System [r]: The primary communications system used for sharing tactical information internally, and among NATO, Australia, and other U.S. allies [e]
- MIM-104 Patriot [r]: Missile originally developed for medium-to-high altitude aircraft interception (SAM) use, which, while retaining that capability, is now optimized as an anti-ballistic missile (ABM) for relatively small but critical areas. The SAM versions have explosive warheads but the ABM is hit-to-kill. [e]
- MPQ-64 [r]: Mobile air search radar, used by the U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps, to detect aircraft, cruise missiles, helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), for air defense and friendly air deconfliction [e]
- Network Centric Airborne Defense Element (missile) [r]: An air-launched anti-ballistic missile intended for boost-phase intercept, built on largely existing components from the AIM-120 AMRAAM and AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles and AN/APG-63 radar [e]
- North American Air Defense Command [r]: The joint Canada-U.S. military organization responsible for aerospace threat warning and defense for North America [e]

- Operation DESERT STORM [r]: That part of the Gulf War, beginning with the first air strikes at 02:00 local time, 17 January 1991, until the main ground assault into Kuwait, Operation DESERT SABRE [e]
- RC-135 COBRA BALL [r]: A United States Air Force aircraft for collecting measurement and signature intelligence, primarily on foreign missiles. A COBRA BALL aircraft can be converted to a RC-135 RIVET JOINT. [e]
- RC-135 RIVET JOINT [r]: A United States Air Force long-range aircraft for collecting communications intelligence [e]
- Radar [r]: A contraction of radio direction and ranging, used for detecting and tracking targets, navigation, imagery, and special applications. [e]
