wartime industry
Arsenal production sector
Wartime industry refers to manufacturing and production redirected toward military purposes during armed conflict.
Factories that made cars produce tanks; clothing mills turn out uniforms.
The term evokes images of round-the-clock production, rationing of civilian goods, and women entering the workforce: Rosie the Riveter became the symbol of wartime industry.
The phrase implies both economic mobilization and national sacrifice.
