'''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 that were built in automated factories. There were two types that were viewed on all three of the terminator movies, which were the tank and the aerial versions. In most of the tactics which were used, these [[infiltration]] units often led the way onto the front lines; they were protected from Tech Com [[personnel]] by the [[T-800]] and T-850 Terminator units. |
|||
The HK tanks were very effective when it came to taking the fight to the enemy, but because they were so huge they were vulnerable to [[Tech Com]] soldiers using explosives under their tracks. The HK Aerials were also effective for locating enemy resistance, except they were vulnerable if enemy rockets destroyed their turbo fan engines. |
