Hunter-killer team

A hunter-killer team is one that separates the tasks of finding targets and attacking them, for handling by separate components of the team.

Examples include:
 * Two-person sniper teams, one using specialized optical hardware and the other a rifle
 * Pairs of F-4G "Wild Weasels" and F-16Cs, where the F-4G "hunter" can detect, identify, and locate an enemy's radar and then direct the F-16C's weapons to the site
 * M2 Bradley Infantry / Cavalry Fighting Vehicles often "hand off" fire missions to M1 Abrams main battle tanks in their hunter-killer team


 * "Pink teams" of scout and attack helicopters, such as OH-6 "Loach" or OH-58 Kiowa scout helicopters and the AH-1 Cobra attack helicopter during the Vietnam War
 * In anti-submarine warfare an ASW aircraft may be employed as "hunter", with surface ships such as destroyers as killers.


 * Tasks Forces such as Task Force 88 where one element (EX:CIA Operatives) gathers intelligence on the target while the other (EX:Delta Force or Rangers) acts on the "hunters" intelligence and eliminates the target acting as the "killers".
