The Naval Systems category explores the technologies that shape power at sea. It covers surface combatants such as corvettes and frigates, shipborne air defense systems, naval UAVs, and advanced sonar and radar suites. This section highlights innovations in anti-submarine warfare, missile integration, electronic warfare at sea, and the digitalization of fleets. From modular ship designs to unmanned surface and underwater vehicles, we analyze how modern navies secure maritime dominance and adapt to evolving threats across global waters.
