Concept of Defence Industries

There is no specific definition of defence and military industries. This is perhaps due to the global revolution in science, technology and artificial intelligence (AI). However, there is consensus among researchers and experts that ‘defence and military industries’ is used to refer to the defence industrial base, or ‘defence industry and technology base’, highlighting the industrial assets of governments that are of direct or indirect importance to the production of defence equipment.
According to this definition, the technological revolution was reflected in the quality and forms of “land, sea, and air” weapons, both defensive and offensive. The arms industry, in general, whether defensive or offensive, is an international commercial market specialising in manufacturing weapons, technology, and military equipment.
The world is now witnessing remarkable developments in defence and military industries. Countries tend to produce generations of advanced weapons in various forms. Besides, information warfare and means of space warfare have entered these industries. Today, countries are focusing on electronic warfare, increased production of smart munitions, and means of protection for individuals and facilities, as well as research, development and technology transfer.
Due to the complicated nature of the defence and military industries and their overlap with other industries, many analytical trends have emerged regarding the concept and significance of these industries. Some think that the concept of defence industries is a critical part of the deterrence system of any country, not for the sake of attack and aggression, but to deliver a message to any party that intends to trespass or attack.
Some hold that defence industries are not only limited to military products but also include the ability to conduct research and development (R&D), design and technology development. While some others believe that defence industries are one of the most important elements of modernising the armed forces of any country and constitute an essential factor in determining its military strength, as it is one of the most important elements of the comprehensive defence and security strategy of any country.
Other trends link the success of defence and military industries with the possession of advanced technology and the ability to create and innovate for these industries to remain competitive. However, military innovation and the modernisation of military technology and training techniques must be a sustainable process in times of peace and war.

The other factor that makes investment in technical capabilities, information security, and innovation an essential requirement to advance defence and military industries lies in the changing nature of conflicts between countries, and the growing cyberattacks, which may be increasingly prevalent in the future.
Experts do not exclude the fact that countries seeking to pursue technological superiority for economic and military reasons may tend to enhance their capabilities in the field of cyber security. Armies will seek to make developments in the field of information and communication technology, as it is expected to have a significant impact at the global level in the manufacture of weapons in their various forms.
