	Callsign
		Informal designations are also used for some services, especially broadcast radio, but strictly speaking these are not callsigns and there is no guarantee that they are unique.
		Tactical designators or identifiers (often called tactical callsigns) also fall into this category.
		Police units in the United States tend to use a tactical designator consisting of a letter of the police phonetic alphabet followed by one or two numbers.

	TRADOC Pam 34-3, Joint Laser Designation Procedures
		Laser designator and acquisition devices are designed to enhance current capabilities of artillery, naval gunfire, and aircraft in the delivery of munitions on ground targets.
		Unless using offset designation procedures, the LDO must designate only one target and not move or search with the designator while it is on and aircraft are in the area.
		LGM designator coding is important because it counters the use of simple enemy laser countermeasures and prevents the seeker from homing on other reflected laser energy.

	CONTRACTIONS FAAO 7340.1
		A telephony designator, normally the company name or an abbreviation thereof, used in combination with the flight number is usually assigned simultaneously with the three-letter identifier and becomes the aircraft identification in all voice communications with air traffic control facilities.
		Letters are not assigned as telephony designators; however, companies which have previously been assigned letters as telephony designators will remain.
		ICAO three-letter identifiers and/or radio- telephony designators will not be assigned to eliminate problems which can be resolved by changing registration number, or similar sounding company names.

	Did USAF Technology Fail in Vietnam?
		What emerged was an aircraft designed around a bomb bay that could accommodate a nuclear weapon and extensive avionics to lighten the workload of the pilot flying at high speed and at low altitudes.
		The Thunderchief was designed to fight a nuclear war in which the delivery of one nuclear weapon at low altitude and high speed was all that was required.
		Design specifications were relatively loose, and military standards were not applied until late in the process.

	Association of the United States Army: Tactical Night Vision Systems Update
		According to representatives of the U.S. Army's project manager for night vision/reconnaissance, surveillance and target acquisition (NV/RSTA), a "command, control, communications, computers and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance council of colonels" was held at Fort Lewis, Wash., in late March to work out the details on the specific Army systems heading to the new units.
		Several recent activities serve to highlight the two tactical thermal imaging systems on the IBCT list: the thermal weapon sight and the driver's vision enhancer.
		With an eye toward reducing the weight burdens applied to the individual soldier, LTWS design would complete and complement the thermal weapon sight family with a sight package weighing less than 3 pounds and powered by commercial AA-size batteries and capable of detecting human-sized targets at 550 meters and vehicle targets at 1,650 meters.

		Beginning in 1930 and prior to 1945, the F designator was used as a primary prefix for reconnaissance aircraft.
		In 1948, the USAF dropped the F designator for reconnaissance aircraft and replaced it with the R designator.
		The F designator was reassigned to fighter aircraft.

		The aircraft is designed to defeat air targets primarily within the radar range, as well as to destroy ground targets using unguided weapons under the conditions of optical visibility.
		It takes a mere second for the helmet-mounted target designator, used to quickly lock on visually detected targets, to send target data to the IR surveillance and tracking radar or directly to the homing head of the missile ensuring accuracy, enough to effectively employ the weapon.
		The MiG-29UB Combat trainer aircraft is designed to teach and master piloting skills, air target interception and ground target engagement within the range of altitudes and speeds of the MiG-29 fighter.

	The Rockwell B-1
		Reagan was committed to a major arms buildup, and this led to the resurrection of the B-1 LRCA as the "B-1B", which was promoted as a cruise-missile carrier though it still retained its free-fall nuclear bombing capability.
		The B-1A had been designed to perform high-altitude penetration at dash speeds in excess of Mach 2, but this was unrealistic even at the time, and though the B-1B's fixed inlets cut the high-altitude dash speed to Mach 1.25, they raised its low-level speed from the B-1A's Mach 0.85 to Mach 0.92.
		According to the story, since the B-1 was originally designed for the strategic nuclear strike role, not a lot of thought was given to the reloading issue.

	Redstone
		Major design work on the Redstone was finished during 1952, and in October that year, Chrysler received a contract for production of the missile.
		The primary teat objectives were to test the accuracy of the guidance system and to acquire data for the establishment of design criteria for the Jupiter.
		One of the objectives was to indoctrinate troops for participation in the tactical portions of the countdown.

	McDonnell F-4D Phantom II
		The moveable surfaces at the end of the four delta wings of the Falcon did not provide sufficient aerodynamic force for the rapid changes of direction that were required to be effective against highly-maneuverable fighters.
		However, the designation of the target was found to be more tricky than expected, and the Pave Fire system was never very successful, and only one Phantom was so modified.
		This designator was mounted on the left side of the rear canopy frame of the F-4D.

	Current Designations of U.S. Unmanned Military Aerospace Vehicles
		While the name is not part of the official designations, many missiles are almost exclusively referenced by their name, both in the popular press and in official government news releases and documents.
		Although this is no longer explicitly stated in the current definition, it is still common practice not to assign standard designations to these types of rockets (see list of undesignated rockets).
		The designations apply to the complete drone surveillance system, including ground equipment (the AN/USD series includes - among other equipment - also some drones, which were not redesignated in the missile series).
