Military Sciences and Civil–Military Relations

Military technology is the application of technology for use in warfare. It consists of the kinds of technology that are definitely military in nature and not civilian in application, usually because they lack useful or legal civilian applications, or are dangerous to use without appropriate military training. Military technology is often examined and developed by scientists and engineers specifically for use in battle by the armed forces. Many new technologies came as a outcome of the military funding of science. Weapons engineering is the design, evolution, testing and lifecycle management of military weapons and systems. It draws on the command of several traditional engineering disciplines, including mechatronics, electrical engineering, electro-optics, aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, and mechanical engineering
