Abstract

The defence industry has undergone major changes since the fall of the Berlin Wall. National defence strategies have not yet been changed, even though the balance of military power has changed. R&D is the keystone of military superiority. However, transfers between military and civilian technologies presupposed an adjustment of priorities between technical performance and conversion costs and the civilian interest in innovation. Duality is therefore not self-evident, particularly in terms of substitution or cooperation from the military to the civilian sector of production processes in the context of disarmament. Several questions then arise concerning the crowding-out effect (choice of military or civilian R&D) or the demand-pull effect. As tensions between the superpowers diminish, civil and military R&D must work more closely together, in both directions, in view of the development of the digital economy.
