Comment on Five-minute rationality techniques

It is difficult for me to conceive of military technology that is:

a) potentially surprising
b) powerful enough to make a big difference
c) near-future

"Rods from God" might count, if they exist, but they're not surprising. The best example I can think of is strong memetic warfare, but I'm not confident that will be developed in the near future (or indeed ever).
