Studies on military revolution and military technology have mainly focused on 'means' part of military strategy - the force development. This paper brings in a holistic view to understand the interaction and relations between military strategy and military technology. 'Ends' defines 'who' is the main adversary of strategy, thus helps to focus on specific areas for military technology compared to the adversary. 'Means' points out 'when', 'where', and 'how' of strategy, in other words the future domains of warfare the technological development should concentrate. 'Means' tells us with 'what' we should fight against adversary, which requires an effective combination of platform, weapon system, and infrastructure.
