I don't think either of these are directly used in combat situations. Personally I feel there's a difference between using hard/software for planning and logistics, and directly in combat - I know it might not be logical, but ethics rarely is.

It's definitely not "logical", because while a better gun can give a man advantage over another man, an army gains advantage over other armies via logistics. If you oppose the military as an instrument of violence and death, then it's important to realize that this instrument is built on JP-8 and paper forms and SharePoint, not on guns and ships.

I'm not sure how you're using the term "directly" but I can assure you that those are as necessary and utilized in combat, as hellfire missiles and 5.56 ammunition.

  They are general purpose tools though, and you cannot compare them to building a killer robot.

    Right, which is the point. The Hololens and machine learning tools are also general purpose and not comparable killer robots.
