RM-70 Multiple Rocket Launcher System (raketomet vzor 1970) is a Czechoslovakian army version and the heavier variant of the BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launcher system, providing enhanced performance over its parent area-saturation artillery system that was introduced in 1971.

The DDG-1000 Zumwalt is a planned class of United States Navy destroyers designed as multi-mission ships with a focus on land attack. The DDG-1000 Zumwalt is a scaled-back project that emerged after funding cuts to the larger DD-21 vessel program. The program was previously known as the "DD(X)". The DDG-1000 Zumwalt is multi-role and designed for surface warfare, anti-aircraft, and naval fire support. They take the place of battleships in filling the former congressional mandate for naval fire support, though the requirement was reduced to allow them to fill this role. The vessels' appearance has been compared to that of the historic ironclad warship.
