weapons systems
Combat equipment arrays
Weapons systems are integrated combinations of equipment, personnel, and procedures designed to deliver military force.
The term emphasizes that modern weapons don't operate in isolation—a fighter jet includes not just the aircraft but its missiles, radar, pilots, maintenance crews, and support infrastructure.
The defense contractor secured a billion-dollar weapons systems contract.
The phrase appears frequently in military procurement and policy discussions.
