• AAR-54 [r]: Using multiple ultraviolet sensors, this is an missile exhaust detector and alarm ^[e]
• AAR-57 [r]: Mounted on aircraft, the system detects the ultraviolet energy emissions of missile threats ^[e]
• AC-130 [r]: Heavily armed transport aircraft, based on the C-130 Hercules, used to provide air support to special operations forces. ^[e]
• ALE-47 [r]: An intelligent countermeasures dispenser for military aircraft, which can receive commands directly from warning receivers, and dispense expendable radar and infrared decoys, as well as manage a retrievable decoy towed via an fiber optic cable ^[e]
• ALQ-213 [r]: A Danish Air Force-designed electronics countermeasures suite controller used on aircraft of many countries ^[e]
• ALR-93 [r]: Part of the defensive electronics suite for United States Special Operations Command helicopters and fixed-wing transport aircraft, this detects a wide range of radar, and cues a decoy launcher and other countermeasures ^[e]
• AN- [r]: U.S. military nomenclature for electronic equipment, following the Joint Electronics Type Designation System ^[e]
• Afghanistan War (1978-92) [r]: A civil war in Afghanistan that matched the Soviet Union and its Afghan allies against a coalition of anti-Communist groups called the mujahideen, supported from the outside by the United States, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. ^[e]
• Air Force Special Operations Command [r]: The Air Component of United States Special Operations Command; lineage includes Air Commando units in the Vietnam War ^[e]
• Air defense artillery [r]: A combat arms branch of the United States Army, responsible for defending ground forces and the continental United States against aircraft and missile attack ^[e]
• Air refueling [r]: Transferring fuel from one aircraft to another while both are in flight. ^[e]
• Altitude [r]: Distance above a planetary reference point, such as the mean sea level. ^[e]
• 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]
• Armed helicopter [r]: A helicopter that can be configured to carry troops or cargo only, light weapons and troops, or possibly a heavier ammunition load with still-removable weapons. ^[e]
• Attack helicopter [r]: A helicopter equipped with built-in heavy weapons, which has no standard cargo capacity and is used as a "flying tank" in close air support or battlefield air interdiction. ^[e]
• Chemical Weapons Convention [r]: Arms control treaty which prohibits the production, use and possession of chemical weapons and related assets. ^[e]
• Copernicus - Orbiting Astronomical Observatory-3 [r]: Space observatory launched by NASA on 21 August 1972, as a collaborative effort with the UK's Science and Engineering Research Council, which returned high resolution spectra of hundreds of stars along with extensive X-ray observations. ^[e]
• Diagnostic imaging [r]: The ensemble of methods used to generate visual representations of objects of clinical interest. ^[e]
• Electro-optical MASINT [r]: A subdiscipline of measurement and signature intelligence (MASINT), which has similarities to but complements imagery intelligence (IMINT); it does not form images, but validates them and produces information on phenomena that emit, absorb, or reflect electromagnetic energy in the infrared, visible light, or ultraviolet spectra, where the value is knowledge of the type of energy detected ^[e]
• Electromagnetic spectrum [r]: The range of electromagnetic waves covering all frequencies and wavelengths. ^[e]
• Electronic warfare [r]: A subset of information operations that deals with the use of electromagnetic or kinetic means to degrade an enemy's military electronics systems, to be able to operate one's own electronics in the face of enemy attacks, and to evade those attacks through protection or deception ^[e]
• F-16 Fighting Falcon [r]: A relatively lightweight land-based multirole fighter, developed by the United States Air Force; co-produced with Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and Portugal; operated by many nations and to be replaced by the F-35A Lightning II. The F-16CJ model is optimized for SEAD. ^[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]
