war production
Military goods output
War production is the manufacturing of military equipment, weapons, and supplies during wartime.
The term evokes large-scale industrial mobilization—factories converting from civilian goods to tanks, aircraft, and ammunition: War production ramped up after Pearl Harbor.
A country's war production capacity often determines its ability to sustain prolonged conflict.
