There's a lot of things we did 40, 30, even 5 years ago we no longer do.

I am sure this is true. OTOH I know some people who were detailed to NATTIC (spelling?) while at Devons. My point is that there is more than likely much more research and developement in progress than people are aware of.
It was said that when an item got into the troops hands, its replacement was already in production and many more changes were on the drawing board. I used to have a clerk assigned who did nothing but post changes to the commel manuals and he never caught up.
