Artillery


Armored vehicles

Tanks

Prior to the deployment of SAV-5 and full armored divisions trained for use with it, the Royal and Imperial Army obtained a number of tanks - mostly of foreign design - and intended to use them as "mobile pillboxes" along the border, mostly to prevent surprise incursions into Urcean territories by Derian nationalists in the first years of the Great War. These tanks were primarily licensed from other nations in Levantia, and none of them were especially mobile or suitable for maneuver warfare. Observations of foreign conflicts, a new generation of military thinkers, and advancement in military technology moved Urcean thought away from the mobile defense notion towards a more modern understanding of the applicability of armored vehicles. The predecessors of the SAV-5 would remain in defensive service through the early years of the 1930s before the full potential of armor became clear.

APCs and IFVs

Early tanks and infantry carriers were sometimes indistinguishable, but the SIAV-1, licensed from Burgundie was considered different enough from a tank to warrant the creation of the Standard Infantry Armored Vehicle designation within the Royal and Imperial Army's standardization system. Initially intended as a complete delivery system for combat operations - including infantry transport and artillery support - artillery was dropped from the SIAV line vehicles after the SIAV-1 as military thinking came closer to modern thought in regards to armored personnel carriers. The first SIAV with true military significance was the SIAV-4; the SIAV-1 and its immediate successors were mostly relegated to experimental operations outside of key theaters.

Naval scouts

Prior to the realization of the impact of air power on naval warfare at the Battle of the Adonáire Strait in 1935, Urcea employed a number of airplanes designed exclusively for scouting and spotting information for the Royal Navy's capital ships. The Canaery-class aircraft carrier was, consequently, designed to carry a large number of these small yet nimble scouting planes which had virtually no armament but carried photographic equipment. Following the battle, virtually all naval scout planes were retired and placed with purpose-built naval fighters and bombers. Some reconnaissance planes were also used in small numbers by the Royal and Imperial Army in the first years of the Great War, but their use was phased out by 1929. Of the three, the SASM-2 were built in the greatest numbers, and their larger size made them the only planes that could be jury-rigged for weapons during the Battle of the Adonáire Strait. The SASM-3 was the first monoplane in service in any branch of the Armed Forces of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea.

Destroyers

Destroyer Escorts

Destroyer escorts were a type of smaller ships which could achieve 20 knots and were primarily designed for anti-submarine warfare and convoy escort during the Great War. Their small size and relative simplicity of design allowed for them to be produced in large numbers.
