Terms of address

So, I am currently researching for a sci-fi military-themed novel.

I was wondering if someone could help me with something. Obviously current militaries are becoming more balanced in terms of gender and my future military consists of both male and female personnel, so I was just wanting to clarify in my mind what the term of address are/would be for a female superior officer.
Obviously, male superior officers are address as Sir and the corresponding (in general society) term for females is Ma'am. Is this also the case in the military or is Sir used as a unisex term of address?

Any help is much appreciated.
