'''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 refered to as "hunter-killers" even though they may not operate in teams with other platforms. In the [[United States Navy]], such submarine types are given the [[hull classification symbol]] "SSK." |
