Abstract: The concept of blast and shock resistance for naval warships has wide and profound connotations, and should be viewed from the macroscopic perspective. Therefore, it needs a system-driven approach and top-level design of the technology system for the enhanced understanding and development of the blast and shock resistance technologies. In this paper, the conceptual distinction between blast and shock resistance for naval warships is presented in the context of ship damage modes due to weapon attacks. Then, based on the technological requirements of blast and shock resistance in view of overall warship design, different research objectives and diverse basic theories of technology are categorized. In this way, a proposed classification scheme for blast and shock resistance technology system design is formed, including technology such as explosion protection structures above and below the waterline of ships' hulls, analysis of innovative explosion protection structures and structural damage, shock-proof system equipment and sailor shock protection, evaluation and testing, standards and criteria. Finally, the technological connotations implied by blast and shock resistance technology systems are detailed. By making a primary classification of the formulation of technology systems, this study can provide references for engineers, researchers and managers in related fields.
