Addition To Military technology Request
Historicize
This article lacks any pre-20th century military technology. For instance, it doesn't mention horses or ditches. Hyacinth (talk) 01:35, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
- Scope limitations? Should the application of the word ″technology" be limited to modern context or expanded? Of course, allowing the expanded view could make this task enormously difficult. What if we start with modern technology and work our way back? Ray Wyman Jr (talk) 21:02, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
- Eras could be a way to divide. Stone age, bronze age, iron age, gunpowder, combustion engine, radio wave, nuclear, IT, or whatever divisions make consensus.SovalValtos (talk) 03:57, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
- Agreed. And the modern "era" could be divided into subheads: radio, nuclear, IT (Cyber), space, electronic countermeasures (stealth) Ray Wyman Jr (talk) 06:51, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
- I am going to be bold and start on a structure for the History section.SovalValtos (talk) 12:09, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Gasp
I facepalmed when I saw the state of the article when it became a WP:TAFI. Britannica has over 20,000 words on the subject and we got nothing. Time to fix that, don't ya think? ChrisGualtieri (talk) 05:02, 17 November 2014 (UTC)
- More is not better on its own, though I agree more is needed for this page. We will have to do some careful editing so as not to duplicate material which already has its own pages. A stand back overview might be the way forward? SovalValtos (talk) 18:30, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
- Correct, but remember - general topics do refer and borrow material from other broad or specific topics as necessary. It would be impossible to construct an article on a broad subject if you cannot cite specifics or refer to the technology itself. I wonder if it is better to go with a definition standpoint and cover the eras and break it down by technology type... ChrisGualtieri (talk) 06:42, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
- Agreed specifics and the technologies themselves must be allowed their place. A comparison with the Technology page is helpful. What is the point of the article other than taxing the focus of its editors!? SovalValtos (talk) 20:03, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
- Overlapping or broad concepts are not meant to tax the editors with a burden, but are representative of a concept that is very broad and difficult to properly assess. It is far easier to work within a very limited structure or focus than it is to represent the whole. This comes as a matter of broad-based knowledge is very different than the specific. The former structure was to be an index to more specific military technology than be an article on the development and use of that technology itself.

Breadth or scope of coverage
How narrow a definition should be used? Should information technology as applied to military use be included; should intelligence and deception?SovalValtos (talk) 17:29, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
- Anything developed for military use qualifies as military technology even if it later adapts to civilian use. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 17:53, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
- I believe the tech should be the focus, not methodology. For instance, Optics may be included as military tech but not methods used in imagery intelligence and military satellite imagery analysis. Ray Wyman Jr (talk) 07:01, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
Removal
A while back, a large part of the article was removed for unexplained reasons. It might be a good idea to put it back. -- Ypnypn (talk) 21:44, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
Missing info on drones
Why is are drones not at least mentioned in the article? I think they, incl anti-drone systems, should probably also be included in the section "#Future technology". Featured this in 2022 in science:
Around September, news outlets report about deployment, research and development of novel military drone technology in the Russo-Ukrainian War in 2022, including demining drones,[1] self-repurposed commercial/hobby drones[2][3] (including via a hackathon),[4][better source needed][5] reconnaissance microdrones,[6] kamikaze drones, bomb-dropping modified drones,[7] and countermeasures such as electronic ones.[6][3][8][9]
This may also be relevant:
A study challenges the notion that drones "tilt the military balance in favor of the offense, [and] reduce existing asymmetries in military power between major and minor actors", suggesting that they are "vulnerable to air defenses and electronic warfare systems, and that they require support from other force structure assets to be effective".[10][11]
Laser weapons (incl anti-drone ones) are also not wikilinked.
Moreover, while there is content in Unmanned combat aerial vehicle#Counter drone tactics, there is none in Loitering munition#Countermeasures.
Some of that may also be missing at List of military inventions and History of weapons.

Academic study of drone use in these conflicts demonstrates that, like any weapon, drones are effective when an opponent is not prepared or does not possess the technical capability to counter them. Even when effective, they do not replace conventional ground combat, and when an opponent is prepared, drones simply become another average tool in the box of combined arms.

Nitroglycerin
The Anglo-mysorean wars were in the 18th century. Nitroglycerin wasn't invented until 1847 and not produced until the 1860s Humpster (talk) 09:11, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
