This is a subdivision of Sub-Tech which deal specificaly with its military applications in Friendly Aliens.
Some of these weapons are brand new, still currently in is prototype phase. But will hopefully become widespread in the future.
Vehicles
One of the first Military Sub-Tech projects is of the contruction of a Sub-Tech APC. Current designs plan to have APC's with a capacity of about ten fully armed soldiers. These are capable of drilling into the ground from the surface or from the sea. Then travelling a respectable distance before reemerging in any position required. The method of drilling will be "soft", compared to the civilian applications. Tunnels will be dug that simply collapse behind the vehicle. This reduces the need for an application which recycles the debris which is dug and also prevents an enemy from counter attacking through a tunnel. The APC's currently in the prototype phase are unarmed, with Friendly Aliens not having ideal weapon systems for Sub-Tech vehicles. But some are being researched at the moment so the APC is not so fragile. The APC's are naturally hardy with armour to protect itself against the intense pressure of the underground. Therefore upon emergence from the ground the APC will be able to withstand most fire, with exception of powerful antitank weaponry. However APCs will be able to create a thick wall of dirt on either flank if they emerge correctly and thus will be able to withstand that sort of firepower possibly. As drives improve more armour will be able to be attached increasing survivability. Current speeds of these prototype Sub-Tech APCs are slow meaning effective range is low. However designs for faster Sub-Tech drives are in the pipe. The largest problem with these APCs currently is that they suffer communication problems with HQ and that they are not very stealthy, basic seismigraphs are able to tell the difference between natural seismic distubances and those caused by the Sub-Tech APCs. All these problems are slowly being fixed by R&D.
Weapons
At the moment being developed are torpedoes which are capable of leaving a Sub-Tech vehicle and slowly rising to the surface to strike a surface target. Perhaps even using the drilling equipment to start burrowing into the target before detonation increasing armour piercing potential.
Another weapon being though of at the moment is simply using the drilling epuipment to cut utilities and communication lines. Also using the drilling equipment to undermine enemy strongholds so they collapse into the ground (weakening their surface defensive capabilities.)
