Abstract

France has a powerful arms industry, highly competitive on international markets for political reasons, in spite of sometimes archaic management and a policy of systematic protectionism for defence strategy reasons. Outlays are concentrated in a few industries and enterprises. It is difficult to determine the costs and advantages of that national industry, but for the French governments the independence of arms equipment supplies is essential., whatever the economic and industrial costs. It is mainly the case for nuclear weapons. It is interesting to indicate the size and composition of the military budget, the structure of military procurement by sectors and type of firms, The listing of the largest defence contractors, and the development of the "loi de programmation militaire".
