• Aerospace [r]: With the development of operations extending beyond the earth's atmosphere, a more general term than air warfare ^[e]
• Air warfare planning [r]: The set of doctrines and procedures for carrying out all types of air warfare, as an integrated whole ^[e]
• Aircraft [r]: A vehicle capable of sustained flight within the Earth's atmosphere. ^[e]
• Alfred J. Eggers [r]: American aeronautics researcher (b.24 June 1922 - d.22 September 2006), who became NASA's Assistant Administrator for Policy, and was devoted efforts to determine the influence of aviation technology in world peace and lectured widely. ^[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]
• Arms control [r]: Treaties and implementation agreements to restrict the development, production, deployment, or transfer of specified weapons or weapons technologies. ^[e]
• Atlas (missile) [r]: The first operational intercontinental ballistic missile fielded by the United States, derivatives of which are still used as space launch vehicles ^[e]
• Atmosphere [r]: The layers of gas surrounding stars and planets. ^[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]
• Ballistic missile [r]: A guided missile which, once its engines stop firing, follows a generally parabolic path to its target, defined by momentum, aerodynamic resistance, and gravity ^[e]
• Counterforce [r]: Military targeting doctrine, historically associated with nuclear warfare and now with precision-guided munitions. ^[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]
• Intercontinental ballistic missile [r]: A ballistic missile, carrying one or more warheads, with a range in excess of 5500 kilometers; the definition traditionally referred to land-based weapons, but some submarine-launched ballistic missiles have this capability ^[e]
• RIM-161 Standard SM-3 [r]: Theater anti-ballistic (i.e., midcourse and terminal phases) and anti-satellite missile, using hit-to-kill, launched from ships equipped with the AN/SPY-2 radar and AEGIS battle management system. ^[e]
• Rocket science [r]: Variously an incorrect name for various engineering disciplines in dealing with unguided rockets or the rocket engines of more intelligent vehicles, or an ironic description of something very complex or very simple (i.e., "this isn't rocket science") ^[e]
• Single Integrated Operational Plan [r]: The U.S. plan and doctrine for the use of nuclear weapons in a large campaign, prepared for all services by the United States Strategic Command, based on Joint Chiefs of Staff guidance ^[e]
• Space Race [r]: A competition of space exploration between the United States and Soviet Union, which lasted roughly from 1957 to 1975. ^[e]
• Specific heat ratio [r]: The ratio of the specific heat of a gas at constant pressure, $C_{p}$, to the specific heat at constant volume, $C_{v}$, also sometimes called the adiabatic index or the heat capacity ratio or the isentropic expansion factor. ^[e]
• Strategic strike [r]: Use of kinetic (i.e., physically destructive) and nonkinetic (e.g., information operations deep into enemy territory, affecting military forces in the homeland, or population, industry, and infrastructure. ^[e]
• Submarine-launched ballistic missile [r]: A ballistic missile launched from a normally submerged submarine, which has multiple engineering challenges, chief among them being computing a correct ballistic trajectory from a varying point of launch (POL) ^[e]
• Suborbital [r]: A vehicle that flies through a trajectory that takes it into outer space, but does not achieve orbit or Earth escape velocity ^[e]
• Warhead [r]: That part of a military weapon, which actively moves to strike a target, that causes the desired destructive effect on the target ^[e]
