The Montgolfier balloon, used to gather aerial intelligence. Introduced to the French army during the time of the notorious Saint Just, first major success at Battle of Fleurus in 1794.
Before that, Maritz developed the horizontal boring machine. With that development, gun tubes could now be cast solid and bored out with precision. Maritz was one of Gribeauval's collaborators in the development of the new French light artillery system, which surpassed those of any other European army when fielded and tested in the 1760s. Even the Russians, who were playing catch-up, did not surpass the Gribeauval System with their new artillery system of 1805.
