  • Precision-guided munition [r]: A powered or unpowered weapon that adjusts its flight path to hit a specific target, with a circular error probability in the low number of meters, often less than the radius of destruction [e]
  • Sensitivity and specificity [r]: measures for assessing the results of diagnostic and screening tests. [e]
