| X.25 | Recommendations developed by CCITT [now ITU-T] that define a protocol for communication between packet-switched public data networks and user devices in the packet-switched mode. | TAFIM 3.0 |
| X.400 | The international standard developed by CCITT [now ITU-T] for a store-and-forward message handling system in a multivendor environment. | TAFIM 3.0 |
| X.500 | The international standard protocol developed by CCITT [now ITU-T] for directory services for electronic mail. [DISA/DO3 (CIO)] | DISA CFS |

| x-axis | 1. (JCS) A horizontal axis in a system of rectangular coordinates; that line on which distances to the right or left (east or west) of the reference line are marked, especially on a map, chart, or graph. 2. The line joining the opposite fiducial marks in the direction which is most nearly parallel to the line of flight. | HDBK-850 |
| x-coordinate | See abscissa. | HDBK-850 |
| x-coordinate | The x value, abscissas, coordinate of a point in a plane Cartesian system obtained by measuring parallel to the x-axis. | ISO/TC 211 |
| x-correction | The correction to an x-direction. | HDBK-850 |
| x-direction | An observed direction in a triangulation figure for which an approximate value is obtained and treated like an observed direction in the adjustment of the figure. The work of a least squares adjustment of a triangulation figure sometimes requires the use of an x-direction, for which an approximate value is obtained by an inverse position computation, by the solution of the three-point problem, or by other means, and then using the x-direction in the adjustment and obtaining a correction (x-correction) for it, which makes it consistent with the adjusted values of the observed directions. | HDBK-850 |
| x-displacement | A component of image displacement. When a point image is to be located by coordinates with respect to rectangular axes, x-displacement represents the distance moved in the x-direction. | HDBK-850 |
| x-motion | In a stereoplotting instrument, that linear adjustment approximately parallel to a line connecting two projector stations; the path of this adjustment is, in effect, coincident with the flight line between the two relevant exposure stations. | HDBK-850 |
| x-parallax | See absolute stereoscopic arallax. | HDBK-850 |
| x-scale | (JCS) On an oblique photograph, the scale along a line parallel to the true horizon. | HDBK-850 |
| x-tilt | The component of tilt about the x-axis, which is most nearly in the direction of flight. Also called list. | HDBK-850 |
| x-y scaler | An instrument that provides x- and y-coordinates in digital form from analog data. | HDBK-850 |
