• Aircraft carrier [r]: A warship designed to launch and recover combat aircraft and aircraft that support military operations ^[e]
• Automatic Identification System [r]: A system, aboard ships and boats, that combines marine radio transmitters and receivers, Global Navigation Satellite System receivers, and computer control into a self-organizing, mobile network in which vessels are inform nearby traffic, potential collision hazards, and navigational information ^[e]
• Commercial fishing [r]: The harvesting of edible marine life on a commercial basis, usually using purpose-built vessels and equipment ^[e]
• Department of National Defence (Canada) [r]: The Canadian cabinet department responsible for the uniformed Canadian Forces, departmental agencies, and several organizations (e.g., search and rescue) that may or may not be part of the regular military of some other nations. ^[e]
• Digital selective calling [r]: A method to address specific marine radios or groups of vessels, and to send a distress signal, including the vessel's location if the radio is connected to a GPS receiver ^[e]
• Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon [r]: Intended for search and rescue of ships and boats, this is a beacon that will float free of a sinking vessel, and broadcast a position report, preferably with GPS, to a worldwide cluster of monitoring satellites. ^[e]
• Fisheries monitoring surveillance and control [r]: The broadening of traditional enforcing national rules over fishing, to the support of the broader problem of fisheries management, from the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. ^[e]
• Global Maritime Distress and Safety System [r]: Mandated by the Safety of Life at Sea convention of the International Maritime Organization system of digital radio and other systems for ships to receive alerts and signal search and rescue organizations when they are in distress. ^[e]
• Identification friend or foe [r]: Military electronic systems that send a secure "don't kill me" signal to friendly forces, to avoid fratricide, usually based on encrypted interaction with a transponder ^[e]
• International Maritime Organization [r]: The United Nations agency responsible for avoiding pollution from ships, and implementing the Safety of Life at Sea convention ^[e]
• MQ-1 Predator [r]: A medium-altitude, long-endurance, unmanned aerial vehicle used for armed reconnaissance by the Central Intelligence Agency, and for reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition at the level of Unified Combatant Commands; it will be replaced by its larger descendant, the MQ-9 Reaper ^[e]
• Marine navigation [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Maritime and Coastguard Agency [r]: Formerly UK Coastguard, the part of the UK Department of Transport responsible for marine safety ^[e]
• SOS [r]: Conventional description used for the Morse code international distress signal (· · · — — — · · ·). ^[e]
• Safety and survivability of naval vessels [r]: Beyond the rules of the Safety of Life at Sea convention, protective measures, for naval vessels, against their own systems as well as enemy fire ^[e]
• Search and rescue transponder [r]: A device used by personnel in need of rescue, which assists in the final part of the search by interacting with search radar and guiding the rescuers to the victim ^[e]
• Search and rescue [r]: The location of those in distress from natural, accidental, or hostile causes; on-scene medical stabilization and extrication; evacuation to treatment or other safe facilities ^[e]
• Self-organizing network [r]: A set of cooperating elements that announce themselves, learn of other nodes of interest, and build interconnections, without the need for central control or manual administration. ^[e]
• South China Sea [r]: A part of the Pacific Ocean surrounded by nations of Southeast Asia and East Asia, important for navigation but also for small islands over which resource and sovereignty disputes exist ^[e]
• Strait of Malacca [r]: One of the world's busiest waterways, passing Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand, where piracy has been a major problem ^[e]
• Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System [r]: A self-organizing (i.e., not dependent on central controllers) system of computers and radios, installed in aircraft, which become aware of nearby airplanes and both warn of potential collisions and give each airplane an appropriate evasive maneuver ^[e]
• Transponder [r]: A device, used in navigation, air traffic control, Safety of Life at Sea, and military operations (e.g., Identification-friend-or-foe which, when interrogated by an appropriate radio or radar signal, replies with its identification and other relevant navigation data ^[e]
• United States Coast Guard [r]: A uniformed service of the United States, with diverse maritime safety, search and rescue, law enforcement, and military responsibilities ^[e]
• Vessel monitoring system [r]: Add brief definition or description
