military research
Warfare science investigations
Military research is systematic investigation aimed at developing weapons, defense systems, tactics, or technologies for armed forces.
It spans from basic science to applied engineering: ballistics, cryptography, radar, nuclear weapons, and drones all emerged from military research programs.
Much civilian technology—the internet, GPS, jet engines—originated in military research before finding broader applications.
