Equipment are named by the procuring agency. For example the latest main battle tank is identified by a Model M1A1 and given the name "Abrams". The department may be different for an army versus an air force program. For weapons procurement years ago, a project was identified by a Number that only applies while it was in development or experimentation. When the equipment was approved for purchase, it was given a model number and name. Today, the Air Force will have a fly-off between 2 competitors and each competitor's entry will have a Model name. For example the F-22 and F-23 jets were competitors and the F-22 "Raptor" was awarded the production contract.
