Dual use goods are products and technologies normally used for civilian purposes but which may have military applications.
European Commission, Trade Topics, Dual Use
In politics, diplomacy and export control, "dual-use" refers to technology that can be used for both peaceful and military aims.
More generally speaking, dual-use can also refer to any technology which can satisfy more than one goal at any given time. Thus, expensive technologies that would otherwise benefit only civilian commercial interests can also be used to serve military purposes if they are not otherwise engaged, such as the Global Positioning System.
