Hmmm. You WOULD ask after I packed up my paperbacks! 

There are a number of PA stories in Jerry Pournelle's "There Will Be
War"
anthology series. The whole series is worth reading, anyway (9 volumes,
I
think, again they are packed). There was a good story complete with
diagrams
that showed a fictional progression of tanks from something close to
what we
have today to essentially ultra powerful PA. There were a number of PA
like
stories.

There are a couple of military sections in Dan Simmons' "Hyperion". It's
a
good book, I really enjoyed the first two (haven't read the third) but
I'm not
sure it's what you want.

That's all I can think off the top of my head. If you really want a
list, I
can ask my friend Lorna and have her go through the library on a
research
mission... That's what they are there for. Just be prepared for a HUGE
list.
