1. Active Denial System (ADS):
The Active Denial System, also known as ADS, is a non-lethal weapon that emits a person-sized beam of millimeter waves. It is a directed energy weapon that produces a strong burning sensation on the skin of any individual within its path. Although designed for crowd control situations, the ADS can be deadly when not used properly.

2. Laser Avenger:
The Laser Avenger is a surface-to-air missile deployment system mounted on a Humvee. It combines a directed energy laser weapon with kinetic energy-based weapons. The laser cannon has undergone successful testing, demonstrating its ability to track and shoot down unmanned aerial vehicles. Laser weapons are an underutilized technology, but they have the advantage of not requiring ammunition and being able to fire indefinitely with a sustained power output.

3. M3E1 Carl Gustav:
The M3E1, also known as the Carl Gustav, is a lightweight anti-armor system. It is a recoiling rifle that fires massive 84 millimeter rounds designed to penetrate tank armor. It can be operated by a single soldier, with an additional soldier assisting with reloading. The latest version, produced in 2017, is capable of firing various rounds, including programmable ammunition.

4. AC-130 Gunship:
The AC-130 Gunship, also known as Spectre, Spooky, Stinger Two, and Ghost Rider, is a heavily armed aircraft designed for close air support. It features advanced weaponry, including a 40-millimeter cannon, a 105-millimeter howitzer, and a 125-millimeter equalizer cannon. The gunship performs pylon turns during attacks, circling its target while unleashing its formidable firepower. It has a proven combat record dating back to the Vietnam War and continues to undergo modifications and revisions.

5. MK 19 Grenade Launcher:
The MK 19 is a fully automatic, belt-fed, 40-millimeter grenade launcher. It is capable of firing up to 60 grenades per minute and has a range of 1600 to 2400 yards. The MK 19 can be mounted on vehicles or tripods and is versatile in its ability to engage various targets, including enemy helicopters, armored vehicles, and bunkers. Its rounds can penetrate two-inch thick armor, causing devastating damage within a 15-meter radius.

6. Modular Advanced Armed Robotic System (MAARS):
The MAARS is an armed robotic soldier designed for surveillance and reconnaissance. It features seven cameras for monitoring potential threats and is equipped with an M240B machine gun and four grenade launcher tubes. The MAARS can be modified for non-combat purposes, including the addition of a loudspeaker, laser dazzler, siren, or manipulator arm capable of lifting 120 pounds. These robotic systems reduce the risk to human lives on the battlefield.

7. Nimitz-class Aircraft Carrier:
The Nimitz-class aircraft carrier is a symbol of US military power and is capable of deploying up to 70 aircraft. Powered by twin A4W nuclear reactors, these carriers have unlimited range. They serve as a strong nuclear deterrent, capable of delivering a fighting force of nuclear-equipped bombers to any location around the world. The Nimitz-class carriers are instrumental in maintaining peace through their presence and threat of nuclear retaliation.

8. Trident II Missile:
The Trident II is considered the most powerful and reliable missile in the arsenal of both the US and UK. Designed to be launched from submarines, these three-stage rockets have a range of 4,230 nautical miles and carry multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles with their own warheads. The Trident II missile is a crucial part of nuclear deterrence, serving as a potent reminder to potential enemies of the devastating consequences of initiating a nuclear strike.

9. Ohio-class Nuclear Submarine:
The Ohio-class submarine is the largest ever built for the US military and is equipped with multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles. Each submarine carries enough nuclear firepower to potentially level an entire country. These submarines are designed for stealth, making them challenging to detect and track. With their presence, a nuclear strike against the United States would be an act of suicide.

10. B83 Nuclear Warhead:
The B83 is a free-fall nuclear weapon with an explosive yield of 1.2 megatons, equivalent to 1,200,000 tonnes of TNT. It is designed to be dropped from a bomber and is the most powerful free-fall weapon in the US arsenal. The destructive power of the B83 exceeds that of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima during World War II by approximately 80 times.
