- Samarium is used in magnets to control flight control surfaces in missiles such as AIM-9X Sidewinders, AIM-120 Amraam, AIM-54 Phoenix and Tomahawk cruise missiles and other smart bombs.
- Samarium to be used in military aircraft to reduce weight while maintaining strength for various components of the aircraft (fuselage, frame, air ducts, landing gear, wings)
- Neodymium magnets used in the controls of gravity guided bombs connected to GPS systems
- Neodymium used inn laser rangefinders and illuminators
- REE phosphates (usually lanthanum) used in avionics of jet fighters
- Terbium used in sonar transducers for submarines
- Yttrium - Iron-Garnet alloys used in radar equipment and electronics
- Various Rare Earth's are used in satellite communications for military and commercial applications
- Yttrium - Iron - Garnets and Yttrium-Gadolinium Garnets used in electronic surveillance measures and electronic intelligence and fighter jet communication systems and in Ballistic Missile Early Warning Systems
- Cerium oxide is used in infrared laser sensors, and as a polish on focal plane arrays and lenses.
- Cerium oxide also used to polish integrated circuits
