Weapons Industry

Industrials

The weapons industry, also called the arms or defense industry, is the global business of manufacturing and selling weapons and other military technology to armed forces, governments, and in some cases civilian buyers. Its output ranges from small arms and ammunition to advanced aerospace systems, naval vessels, armored vehicles, and cybersecurity products built for military use. The sector includes large private defense contractors, state-owned manufacturers, and research institutions that develop, produce, test, and maintain equipment under contract to national governments and allied international customers. Because military procurement is often tied to national security policy, the industry operates under extensive government oversight, export controls, and long-term contracting relationships that distinguish it from most other manufacturing sectors.
