Materials research is an exception to your claim. Aviation and weapons research depend heavily on exotic materials that are almost certainly NOT found in civilian applications. E.g. nuclear weaponry, stealth coatings, metamaterials cloaking devices, camera systems, hypersonics, directed energy weaponry, plasma generators, etc.
