About ARSENALIS
ARSENALIS is a bilingual IT/EN technical archive for consulting, comparing and studying modern and historical weapon systems. Entries share a structure to facilitate comparison. 585 systems catalogued across 3 domains, and growing. 3 populated domains out of 9 defined domains. The remaining chapters are in preparation.
Sources. Data derived from manufacturer technical manuals, public-domain military documentation, publications from specialist institutes (IISS, SIPRI, CSIS, Jane's) and technical literature. The values shown are catalog references: unit variants, specific batches and operational configurations may differ.
Disclaimer. Content is published for informational, educational, historical and technical comparison purposes. No usage, modification, assembly instructions or purchasing guidance are provided. Weapon laws vary by country: anyone interested in practical use must refer to the competent authorities.
Project status. ARSENALIS is in active development and there is currently no expected completion date. The archive grows incrementally: new entries, revisions and corrections are published continuously, and the site architecture itself evolves as new domains and system categories are integrated.
Sources and methodology
ARSENALIS records, on a best-effort basis, the public sources used for an entry: URL, publisher, date accessed and a reliability level. Verified means key facts were corroborated from official manufacturer or government publications. Partially verified means some facts are sourced while others remain pending, or public figures conflict and have not been forced into a single number. Unverified means sources have not yet been attached.
Specifications that cannot be verified are left empty rather than guessed. Production and delivery figures may describe different dates, variants or scopes: a system or complex can contain more than one weapon or airframe. Such figures are not automatically comparable. A review date records an editorial review, not a guarantee that every existing field was independently verified.
AI-generated imagery.
All images on the site are generated using artificial intelligence, with the best generative models currently available on the market. Prompts are carefully designed and structured to achieve the highest possible accuracy relative to the depicted weapon system, with specific references to calibers, lengths, materials and distinctive traits.

Despite the care taken in generation, errors, inaccuracies or imperfectly faithful details may always be present. The purpose of the images is purely illustrative: they aim to give a sufficiently clear idea of how the weapon system looks in reality, not to replace technical photographs or official documentation.
Development roadmap
The main milestones planned for the coming months and years. Phases have no rigid dates: the order reflects the team's execution priority.
Phases currently in progress. The first two domains activated are small arms — pistols, rifles, machine guns, submachine guns and precision rifles with components and the connected ecosystem (optics, ammunition, manufacturers, conflicts) — and missile systems, with extended sheets covering ballistic, cruise, anti-ship, hypersonic missiles and ATGMs, including estimated costs, production rates and operational use. They serve as the reference model for the data structure of the remaining domains.
Extension of the database to the three main conventional domains: land vehicles (tanks, IFVs, APCs, self-propelled artillery), air systems (fighters, bombers, helicopters, strategic UAVs) and naval systems (surface ships, submarines, carriers). Same data-sheet quality and public sourcing already adopted for small arms and missiles, with domain-specific fields for each.
Opening of the electronic warfare domain: jammers, radars, ELINT/SIGINT, counter-UAV, directed energy. Categorization and data sheets designed to stay readable even for classified or partially disclosed systems, with attention to coherence with the already active missile and air domains.
Chapters still under evaluation. The space domain (military satellites, ASAT, orbital surveillance) and the cyber domain (national offensive and defensive capabilities) evolve very quickly and often remain classified. The team is studying how to represent them rigorously, deciding what is actually documentable from public sources and what would instead risk becoming obsolete within months.
