Abstract

The definition of an armament enterprise depends on the final objectives of the products, whether their uses are civilian or military. If States want to possess weapons for the national economy vary, depending of their economic structures, the level of development, their openess to outside world or the quality of their national R&D. The analysis of the French military industry is not very easy, because secrecy is high and it is difficult to have verified data. Some key results must be summarized. What are the main problems and inefficiencies? What are the main ways to cut costs with an equal quality of defence strategy? What are the links between military contracting, government decisions, industrial structures and technological changes?
