[edit] Military history?

It seems to me that Military history is not a technology. Conduct of military operations has been guided by use of civilian-derived technologies and military art often derived from contemporary philosophies. Often the technology is better described as organisational structuring such as massed use of archers. Military technologies that were distinctly military in application were (off the top of my head): Combat armouring Sail and masting Gunnery Rocket science Automatic fire Turreted naval guns Indirect fire ranging Submarines Mining (land and naval) Aircraft bombing (as opposed to thrown bombs) Vehicle armouring (tanks and APCs) Missile guidance Logistic standardisation GPS guidance
