It sounds like you want to write a fictional military treatise rather than a story, or even some form of documentary.

As for creating new tech I'd suggest starting by answering the following questions:

What is it for? - Why is it needed? - Who would be using it? - When would they be using it? - Where would it be used?

Try to keep the subject basic, so instead of a rifle think weapon, instead of car think transportation. After that you need to apply cultural and technology limitations, followed by access to resources and finally size of the nation. (E.g. Smaller nations tend to focus on better training for their smaller armies where larger nations having a larger army would require faster training.)

On the flip side, if you intend to do a story (character focused) then its generally best to be vague with your descriptions to allow the reader to fill the void with their own imagination.
