This article lists American military electronic instruments/systems along with brief descriptions. This stand-alone list specifically identifies electronic devices which are assigned designations (names) according to the Joint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS), beginning with the AN/ prefix. They are grouped below by the first designation letter following this prefix. The list is organized as sorted tables that reflect the purpose, uses and manufacturers of each listed item.
- JETDS nomenclature
All electronic equipment and systems intended for use by the U.S. military are designated using the JETDS system. The beginning of the designation for equipment/systems always begins with AN/ which only identifies that the device has a JETDS-based designation (or name). When the JETDS was originally introduced, AN represented Army-Navy equipment. Later, the naming method was adopted by all Department of Defense branches, and others like Canada, NATO and more.
The first letter of the designation following AN/ indicates the installation or platform where the device is used (e.g. A for piloted aircraft). That means a device with a designation beginning "AN/Axx" would typically be installed in a piloted aircraft or used to support that aircraft. The second letter indicates the type of equipment (e.g. A for invisible light sensor). So, AN/AAx would designate a device used for piloted aircraft with invisible light (like infrared) sensing capability. The third letter designates the purpose of the device (e.g. R for receiver, or T for transmitter). After the letters that signify those things, a dash character ("-") is followed by a sequential number that represents the next design for that device. Thus, one example, AN/ALR-20 would represent:[1]
- Installation in a piloted aircraft A
- Type of countermeasures device L
- Purpose of receiving R
- Sequential design number 20
So, the full description should be interpretted as the 20th design of an Army-Navy (now all Department of Defense) electronic device for a countermeasures signal receiver.
NOTE: First letters E, H, I, J, L, N, O, Q, R, W and Y are not used in JETDS nomenclatures.

Notes
- ^ Only ten units of the AN/AQS-20 were purchased before the system was canceled by the US Navy in 2016
- ^ AN/BQH-7A was a surface ship version of the same bathythermograph
- ^ Before AN/CRC designated Cryptographic Radios, the first "C" meant "Air Transportable" (ie. Cargo)
- ^ Many different sources say a smaller follow-on system, AN/MST-T1(V), is called "Mini-MUTES"
- ^ In reference to the AN/TPS-3, Wikipedia article SCR-602 (AN/TPS-3) says the frequency is 176–202 MHz (170–148 cm) instead of 590–610 MHz (51–49 cm) claimed by the MobileRadar.org site cited in this list
