Alien Tech Levels
As X-COM's score advances the aliens will bring more advanced weapons/equipment to arm both their soldiers and craft. Below is a table that shows the progression of alien technology, indicating the points required for each item on the different difficulty levels. For tactical equipment, the score checked is your Tactical Missions score (counted at the beginning of each mission). For vehicle equipment, the score checked is your UFO Shot Down score (counted each new day).

Human Tech Levels
Human Organizations will also upgrade their technology as the game progresses. However, this is not tied to X-com's score. Instead, all organizations will upgrade their "Tech Level" by 1 at the beginning of each week after the first, up to a maximum of 12. In addition, an organization that gets infiltrated by the Aliens will get +3 Tech Level.

1 Stun Grenades are used exclusively by enemies at Tech Level 2. This is probably a design oversight.
2 This is likely a mistake. Note that the enemy may still pick up another weapon during the mission.
