Air-to-Ground Missiles are guided missiles fired from aircraft to attack ground targets. They enable aircraft to engage and destroy enemy ground positions, vehicles, and installations.

Operational state of a drone where weapons systems are enabled and ready for engagement.

Automatic Takeoff/Landing is a UAV capability that enables a drone to initiate and complete takeoff and landing sequences autonomously using onboard sensors and control software.

Capable of performing tasks or missions without direct human control, using onboard systems to make decisions and execute actions.

A capability enabling drones to relay communication signals between units, extending operational range and maintaining network connectivity in combat environments.

Electro-optical/infrared sensor combining daylight cameras and thermal imagers for real-time target detection, tracking, and identification in military drones.

A device that emits a laser beam to mark targets for precision-guided munitions, enabling accurate strikes by designating coordinates for laser-homing weapons.

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) radar are airborne radar systems used to detect, track, and image moving or stationary targets on the ground, regardless of weather or lighting conditions.

A communication link between a drone and its control station via satellite relay, enabling beyond-line-of-sight (BLOS) operations.

Aircraft design and technology features that reduce detection by radar, infrared, acoustic, and other sensors through shaping, materials, and emissions control.

Swarming is the coordinated operation of multiple autonomous or semi‑autonomous drones that communicate and act together to achieve a mission objective.
