arms production
Military equipment creation
Arms production is the manufacturing of weapons and military equipment—firearms, ammunition, tanks, aircraft, missiles, and related materiel.
The term appears in discussions of defense policy, international trade, and economic analysis: Arms production accounts for a significant portion of the country's GDP.
Countries may restrict arms production through treaties or expand it during wartime.
