Weapons
- 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]
- Mark 46 torpedo [r]: Lightweight antisubmarine torpedo, primarily air-dropped but also ship-launched for close-in defense [e]
- Mark 50 torpedo [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Anti-shipping missile [r]: An air, surface (sea or land), or submarine-launched missile that can track and intercept a maneuvering ship target against the background of moving water [e]
- AGM-84 Harpoon [r]: A U.S. developed anti-shipping missile that can be launched from aircraft, ships and submarines [e]
- Air-to-surface missile [r]: Launched from an fixed-wing aircraft or helicopter, missiles of this category have a wide variety of ranges, sensors, autonomy vs. man-in-the-loop control, warheads, and need for battle damage assessment [e]
- AGM-65 Maverick [r]: Short-range air-to-surface missile with multiple guidance and warhead options, certified for 25 past and present aircraft [e]
- AGM-84 SLAM [r]: An air-launched land-attack missile derived from the AGM-84 Harpoon, an anti-shipping missile [e]
Avionics
- Radar [r]: (acronym for "radio detection and ranging") A technique used for detecting and tracking targets, navigation, imagery, and special applications. [e]
- Littoral Surveillance Radar System [r]: An active electronically scanned array (AESA) surveillance radar, currently used on maritime patrol aircraft also used in littoral (military) and overland operation; the still highly classified system will go onto next-generation surveillance aircraft and provide targeting information to precision-guided munitions [e]
- Sonobuoy [r]: Air-dropped, expendable sensors for anti-submarine warfare [e]
Flight
- Protected Instrument Landing System
- Identification-friend-or-foe [r]: Add brief definition or description Mode S and Required Navigation Performance Area Navigation,
- GPS
- AN/ASQ-60 Autopilot
Network-centric warfare
