Naval guns are large-caliber artillery weapons mounted on ships, used for engaging surface, air, and shore targets with direct or indirect fire.

Military helicopters operated from ships for roles including anti-submarine warfare, search and rescue, and troop transport.

Explosive devices deployed in water to damage or destroy ships, submarines, or other vessels, either by contact or influence.

Fixed-wing military aircraft designed to deliver air-to-ground munitions against naval or coastal targets from aircraft carriers or land bases.

Naval unmanned systems include Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs) and Unmanned Underwater Vessels (UUVs) used for reconnaissance, mine countermeasures, and surveillance without direct human crew onboard.
