The defense industry, also called the military industry, comprises government and commercial industry involved in research, development, production, and service of military equipment and facilities. It includes:
- Defense contractors: business organizations or individuals that provide products or services to a defense department of a government.
- The Arms industry, which produces guns, ammunition, missiles, military aircraft, and their associated consumables and systems.
It can also include:
- Private military contractors: private companies that provide logistics, manpower, and other expenditures for a military force.
- European defence procurement, which is more or less analogous to the U.S. "military-industrial complex."
