Operator

This dimension names the armed force that actually operates a specific weapon system. Wikipedia notes that weapons are used to "gain a tactical, strategic, material, or mental advantage over an adversary or enemy target," an advantage that only exists once a force actually fields the weapon. Browsing this way collects every weapon system operated by the same force.
