...the public? in terms of space tech, under water tech, invisibility, lasers; anything that exists definitely.

What are some military technologies that are futuristic and generally secret to...
let's see... they showed me a new type of torpedo that could go the speed of sound in water (several THOUSAND miles an hour!) and this awesome new invisible airplane. It uses some ultra secret technology that heats it up A LOT, but the problem is you can still see little heat waves around it so they're still working out the bugs. its pretty BA. It has to be unmanned though because they tried putting in a pilot but he was fried instantly, and I mean vaporized, no body left.

Identification and hand off. Imagine a F-35 scanning a city and able to identify all the major enemy equipment, such as tanks and artillery, visible to the radar and then passing the information off to others so that those targets can be engaged. That radar system exists now and the Apache-D helicopter has something similar.
The U.S. is working on radar guided 2.75" rockets for the Apache-D. It would be cheaper that using hellfire missiles on several different kinds of soft targets.
Laser guided tank shells exist. Russia and Israel have them. The U.S. is making its own.
The new AA missiles for the U.S. air force will have three sensors built into them. So chaff and flares won't work because chaff fools the radar but not the IR sensors and flares fool the IR sensors but not the radar sensor. I believe the third sensor is a visual recognition system and neither flares or chaff look like aircraft.
Russia claims to have perfected plasma stealth. The idea behind plasma stealth is that ions can disrupt radar to the point where the radar beams don't bounce back. There was a patient for plasma stealth back in the mid 1950s and the U.S. tinkered with it on their U-2 spy planes by painting the planes with paint containing uranium. That didn't work out since the Soviets could still see and shoot down the U-2s. The Russians have built a system to put on planes and missiles to generate the ions, or at least they have claimed to have been able to do that.
