defense production
Military supply creation
Defense production is the manufacturing of military equipment, weapons, and supplies—everything from ammunition to aircraft carriers.
The term often appears in policy contexts discussing industrial capacity for wartime needs: The Defense Production Act allows the government to direct private companies to prioritize military contracts.
During major conflicts, defense production typically dominates a nation's industrial output.
