Technology we didn't know we had...
It's pretty common knowledge that the US Military gets first rights to all new technology innovations, but the problem is that the public typically doesn't know about these advancements until years, sometimes decades, later. For example, the F-22 Raptor is the most advanced aircraft ever built and the technological systems are so classified that even the crew chiefs (aircraft mechanics) don't know anything about them. Those systems, by the way, are 16 years old.
