Hard to say. Would the research even have occurred if there weren't military applications? At the end of the day, there are only a few ways to get politicians to fund research:
* War (physics, chemistry, computer science, psychology)
* Fortune-telling (astronomy, economics, political science)
I imagine military applications for "know where something is in world" and "have network of computers communicate in a damage resistant way" are no more costly to develop than non-military applications.
* War (physics, chemistry, computer science, psychology)
* Fortune-telling (astronomy, economics, political science)
* Immortality (medicine, fine art, humanities)
