military technology
Armed forces equipment
Military technology encompasses weapons, equipment, and systems designed for warfare and defense.
This includes everything from firearms and armored vehicles to radar, drones, and cyberweapons.
The term often appears in discussions of arms races, defense spending, and the transfer of sensitive knowledge: Export controls restrict military technology from reaching adversaries.
Advances in military technology frequently migrate to civilian use—GPS, the internet, and jet engines all originated in defense research.
