Field artillery

Italian artillery was usually designated using the calibre and length of the barrel in number of calibre lengths, so "90/53" would mean a weapon with a 90 mm diameter barrel where the length of the barrel was approximately 53 calibre lengths (i.e. 53x90 mm, that is 4.77 m).

Vehicles

The Italian designation system for tanks consisted of a letter (L, M or P; designating light, medium and heavy tanks respectively) followed by two numbers: one giving the approximate weight in tons, the other giving the year it was accepted for service. Thus "M11/39" means the 11 ton medium tank of 1939. The Italian definitions of light, medium and heavy tank differ from other nations at the time. For instance the Italian "medium" tanks are often described as "light" in other sources.

Others

During World War II, Italy regularly mounted cannons on portee trucks. Also, permanent installation of guns on trucks and armored cars were done on ad-hoc basis, therefore many self-propelled guns had no official name besides descriptive type of truck plus type of cannon. Below is the grossly incomplete list of these self-propelled weapons.

• Autocannone Sahariana Corta da 75/27 [it] - cannon installed on truck TL 37
• 102/35 on SPA 9000 [it]
• 102/35 su Fiat 634N
• Carro Comando Per Reparto Semovente da 75/18 [it]
• Autocannoni da 75
• Breda Dovunque 90/53 []
• Breda Autocannone Blindato Tipo 102 (Breda 501 [it])
• Autocannone da 90 [it] - Lancia 3 RO Chassis
• Fiat 611 [it]AT - SP ATG armed with 37mm cannon
• L.3/Solothurn or L.3/cc (antitank) - changes made on several specimens directly from the operational departments in Italian North Africa in 1941. In place of the twin machine guns an S-18/1000 Solothurn 20 mm anti-tank rifle was mounted, which could penetrate the armor of British armored cars and light tanks.
• Trubia - experimental version of the Spanish armed with a gun Breda 20/65 Mod 1935 20mm.
• Chariot anti-tank gun or self-propelled L3 47/32 - prototype self-propelled gun armed with a 47/32 mm; trying "desperately" to adapt to the new demands of war the L3 Chariot had a very similar design to the Panzerjäger I (which was also derived from the most common light tank in the army of adoption, the Panzer I). The hull, superstructure private, had a front antitank gun 47/32 cowl, which was to protect the crew and the rest of the half was equal to the chassis of L .3, although the photo of the prototype seems that the suspensions were a mainspring. Probably would not be successful, since the recoil while content of 47/32 could, in the long run detrimental to the operation of the medium.

Radars

Italy was late on the radar development; At the date of the armistice in 1943, 84 of 85 radars in operation were German-built. Italian Army and Navy have deployed a network of radar detectors and jammers though.

• ARGO - domestically developed air warning radar in Pratica di Mare Air Base
• FREYA - sold by Germans 1 July 1942, later transported to Sicily
• RTD Arghetto or Vespa - prototype of airborne 300 MHz radar
