- Artillery [r]: Crew-served military devices for propelling payloads over distance [e]
- Bearing only mode [r]: A paradigm for guided missiles, in which they are launched in the direction of the target, but expected to find it, independently, with onboard sensors [e]
- Controlling close support to ground forces [r]: A unified approach to deconflicting and controlling all forms of kinetic (i.e., physically destructive, such as artillery and close air support) and nonkinetic (e.g., electronic warfare) support to troops in contact with the enemy, when the proximity is close enough that there is a significant danger of fratricide or degrading troop capabilities (e.g., by interfering with their sensors) [e]
- Cruise missile [r]: A guided missile that uses aerodynamic forces, as well as active jet or rocket propulsion, to stay airborne and to adjust its course. [e]
- Go-onto-location-in-space [r]: A weapons guidance paradigm in which the weapon guides itself to a specific set of geographic coordinates and activates its warhead, rather than sensing and tracking a target [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]
- Laser designator [r]: A device that puts a distinctive, usually invisible, pattern of laser energy on an object, for purposes such as designating the target of a laser-guided bomb. [e]
- Swarming (military) [r]: A method of military attacking using multiple attack forces against an opponent, which act in an autonomous but synchronized manner, with real-time communications for their coordination [e]
- Torpedo [r]: A naval weapon that travels underwater, using its own propulsion, to attack its target, minimally with onboard mechanisms to keep it on a straight course. Modern torpedoes are underwater guided missiles that can track their target and adjust their course to hit it [e]
- Type 65 (torpedo) [r]: Soviet/Russian guided torpedo, probably the largest in the world at 650mm diameter, designed to follow the wake of a large warship target, especially an aircraft carrier [e]
