Concrete roads allowed faster troop movement. Internet greatly increased intel and communications. The radar, well that's self explanatory. Origin for supplying wars.

And besides that, it will help keep engineering here as we can reduce cycles for prototyping.

Just to show what I mean, the most current statistic that I can think of is that Halo 4 (from launch until this week I believe) made in sales an amount equal to what the US army spends to maintain the troops in Afghanistan in one day.
