'''Hunter-Killer''' is a [[military]] term used to describe any team in which the roles of "sensor" and "shooter" are separated. A hunter-killer team's primary mission is to seek out and destroy the enemy, particularly in contexts where the enemy is attempting to evade detection rather than seek engagement. |

Examples include |
|||
* pairs of [[F-4 Phantom II|F-4G "Wild Weasels"]] and [[F-16 Fighting Falcon|F-16C]]s, where the F-4G "hunter" can detect, identify, and locate an enemies radar and then direct the F-16C's weapons to the site |
|||
* [[M2 Bradley]] Infantry / Cavalry Fighting Vehicle often "hand off" fire missions to [[M1 Abrams]] main battle tanks |
|||
* one or more antisubmarine [[aircraft carrier]]s and a number of escort vessels whose primary mission is to detect and destroy [[submarine]]s |

Smaller submarines tasked with coastal defense are sometimes referred to as "hunter-killers" even though they may not operate in teams with other platforms. In the [[United States Navy]] and [[Canadian Forces Maritime Command|Canadian Navy]] such submarine types are given the [[hull classification symbol]] '''"SSK"'''. |

In the Terminator saga, Hunter Killers were unmaned vehicles, which were built in automated factories. There were two types that were viewed on all of three terminator movies, which was the tank and the aerial versions. In most of the tactics, these machines often led the way onto the front lines, and were protected from Tech Com [[personel]] by the [[T-800]] and T-850 Terminator units "on their six." The HK tanks were very effective when it came to detecting the enemy, but because they were so huge they were vulnerable to [[Tech Com]] soldiers using detonators. The HK Aerials were very effective too, except they were vulnerable if enemy fire destroys their turbo fan engines. |
