Abstract: Industrial advanced States are not often in position to convert notions of national security into comprehensive strategies and programmes for national security. Technologies dictate policy instead of serving them when a national Military industrial complex is powerful. How organize the national production of armaments? What is the minimal level of dependence for some important weapons for the national defence? What is the political and economical importance of exporting arms? What is the burden of armaments useful to develop a deterrence system and what financial burden the nation is prepared to accept for what defence?

Keywords: Military industrial complex; National defence; exportation arms; burden of defence; deterrence strategy; arms systems; Complexe militaro-industriel; Défense nationale; exportation d’armes; fardeau de la défense; stratégie de dissuasion; systèmes d’armes.
