Parent topics
- Active radar homing [r]: In contrast to semi-active radar homing where the missile only has a radar receiver, a missile guidance mode where the missile has its own radar transmitter and receiver allowing it to act autonomously [e]
- Air-to-air missile [r]: A guided missile fired by one aircraft at another airborne target, such as an aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicle, or cruise missile [e]
- Beyond visual range [r]: An air-to-air missile appropriate for tactical situations where it can be fired a target at medium to long range, without a requirement for visual identification of the target or visual assistance in pointing the launching aircraft at the target [e]
- United States Air Force [r]: Branch of the U.S. armed forces responsible for land-based aircraft, as well as land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles [e]
Subtopics
- Network Centric Airborne Defense Element (missile) [r]: An air-launched anti-ballistic missile intended for boost-phase intercept, built on largely existing components from the AIM-120 AMRAAM and AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles and AN/APG-63 radar [e]
- AIM-7 Sparrow [r]: A semi-active radar homing air-to-air missile introduced during the Vietnam War, the early models were not effective, although it improved over time, spawned the RIM-162 ESSM naval surface-to-air missile, but has been replaced for air-to-air use by the AIM-120 AMRAAM [e]
- AIM-9 Sidewinder [r]: The first operational heat-seeking air-to-air missile, this weapon, with five generations of improvements, has been in service for over fifty years. [e]

- APG-63 [r]: A radar system for F-15 Eagle and, in its fourth version, F-15E Strike Eagle fighters [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]
- Anti-cruise missile missile [r]: A somewhat loosely defined category of weapons for defending against the highly variable flight paths of cruise missiles; such weapons may have optimizations against cruise missile carrier aircraft, against cruise missiles with a high-altitude atmospheric midcourse, against a terrain-following low-altitude midcourse, or popups and zigzags in the final attack on a ship [e]
- Anti-radiation missile [r]: A guided missile that attacks radar transmitters [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]
- C3I-ISR [r]: Command, control, communications and intelligence, combined with intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance [e]
- E-3 Sentry [r]: Airborne warning and control system (AWACS) aircraft, equipped with a large radar and a battle staff, which can detect aircraft and control combat. [e]
- EF-18 Growler [r]: The U.S. Navy replacement for the EA-6B Prowler electronic warfare aircraft [e]
- F-15 Eagle [r]: A series of air superiority fighters, designed for the United States Air Force and flown by several countries; intended for the high role in the high-low mix; The F-15E Strike Eagle is a multirole fighter variant. [e]
- F-15 series fighter aircraft [r]: A series of fourth-generation air-to-air and all-weather fighter-bomber aircraft developed by the United States Air Force as the high end of a "high-low" mix with the F-16 Fighting Falcon; used by several friendly countries and has the best air-to-air combat record of any operational fighter [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]
- F-18 Hornet [r]: A relatively lightweight carrier-capable multirole fighter, developed by the United States Navy and used by several nations, including Canada, in land-based roles; a fourth-generation fighter gradually being replaced by the F-18E/F Super Hornet, and then the F-35. [e]
- F-18 Super Hornet [r]: A new generation of carrier-based fighter beyond the F-18 Hornet, this evolution provides an architecture with even greater expansion, especially with the AN/APG-79 AESA radar, more powerful computers and communications, and a new engine with longer range. [e]
- F-35C Lightning II [r]: United States Navy version of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, intended for carrier operations [e]
- F-4 Phantom II [r]: An extremely successful third-generation fighter, the first effective multirole fighter, which, even after its replacement as a first-line fighter, continued in reconnaissance and suppression of enemy air defense roles well into the 1990s. [e]
- Force multiplier [r]: Technology, operating doctrine, or combination of techniques that , "...when added to and employed by a combat force, significantly increases the combat potential of that force and thus enhances the probability of successful mission accomplishment." Joint Chiefs of Staff [e]
- Forward Area Air Defense [r]: A U.S. military command and control system for managing air defense, which includes both artillery/air deconfliction and counter-rocket, artillery and mortar missions, near the main battle line, typically under brigade control [e]
