Anti-Submarine Warfare. Capability to detect, track, and engage submarines.

Anti-submarine warfare (ASW) rocket or missile: a weapon system used to detect and engage underwater targets, typically deployed from aircraft.

Automated Damage Control is a shipboard system that detects, assesses, and mitigates combat damage on aircraft carriers using sensors and software to enhance response speed and reduce crew workload.

A defensive system on fleet aircraft carriers designed to detect, protect against, and mitigate chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats.

A technique to reduce a ship's magnetic signature by neutralizing its internal magnetic field, minimizing vulnerability to magnetic mines or detection.

Military action involving the use of electromagnetic spectrum to disrupt, deceive, or destroy enemy electronic systems.

The upper deck of an aircraft carrier, equipped for aircraft takeoff, landing, and maintenance operations.

Sonar system installed on the hull of a ship, used for underwater detection and navigation by emitting and receiving sound waves.

Radar system using multiple small antennas whose signals are combined to create a steerable beam without physical movement, enabling rapid scanning and tracking of multiple targets.

A mechanical device that converts steam pressure into rotational energy, used to drive shipboard generators or propulsion systems.

A system of hydrophones towed behind a vessel to detect submarines and torpedoes, minimizing interference from the ship's self-noise.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle: a remotely piloted or autonomous aircraft used for reconnaissance, surveillance, or combat missions without a human onboard.
