see applications in Offensive Counter-Air and Defensive Counter-Air
- 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]
- Infrared light [r]: In physics and engineering, a non-visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum ranging from wavelengths of 750 nm to 1 mm, between the darkest visible red and the shortest submillimeter wave radar [e]
Subtopics
- AN/AAQ-24 [r]: Add brief definition or description
- AN/ALR-93 [r]: Add brief definition or description
- AN/AAR-144 [r]: Add brief definition or description
- Flares [r]: An expendable electronic warfare decoy form of infrared countermeasures [e]
- Suppression of enemy air defense [r]: Military actions taken to reduce the effectiveness, or destroy, the radars, radio and other communications links, surface-to-air missiles, anti-aircraft artillery, fighter aircraft and their airbases and command posts of air defense systems [e]
- Spectroscopic MASINT [r]: A electro-optical measurement and signature intelligence technique to measure the electromagnetic spectrum reflected from or emitted by an object, typically within the infrared through ultraviolet wavelength range, and compare it to spectral signatures of known objects [e]
- Soviet support for Iran during the Iran-Iraq War [r]: Soviet efforts to maintain a positive relationship during and after the Iran-Iraq War; they regarded Iran as more strategically important than Iraq [e]
- Machine gun [r]: A firearm capable not only of full-automatic fire, but with additional features, such as large ammunition supply mechanisms, barrel cooling or quick-change features, etc., that lets it fire for prolonged periods [e]
