    Torpedo defence includes evasive maneuvers, passive defense like torpedo belts, torpedo nets, torpedo bulges, and sonar torpedo sensors, "soft-kill" active countermeasures like sonar decoys and sonar jammers, and "hard-kill" active defenses, like anti-torpedo torpedoes similar in idea to missile defense systems.

  6. Maneuverable reentry vehicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maneuverable_reentry_vehicle

    As it could avoid maneuvers during the initial reentry, it would retain energy and thus be able to maintain powerful maneuvers at lower altitudes, while also travelling faster overall. It was "difficult to conceive of an endoatmospheric ABM which could defend against AMaRV-type vehicles at reasonable cost." [1]

  7. Basic fighter maneuvers - Wikipedia

    The maneuver is performed by rolling up and away from the turn, then, when the aircraft's lift vector is aligned with the defender, pulling back on the stick, bringing the fighter back into the turn. This maneuver helps prevent an overshoot caused by the high AOT of lead pursuit, and can also be used to increase the distance between aircraft ...

  9. Power steering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_steering

    Power steering is a system for reducing a driver's effort to turn a steering wheel of a motor vehicle, by using a power source to assist steering. [1]Hydraulic or electric actuators add controlled energy to the steering mechanism, so the driver can provide less effort to turn the steered wheels when driving at typical speeds, and considerably reduce the physical effort necessary to turn the ...
