Abstract: The French armament industry has inefficient synergy effects, because small and medium enterprises are not very involved in R&D. It suffers from the costs of over runs and lead times. Then, three questions must be solved in order to maintain the strategic independence for each sector, their capacity of growth or decline, their potentiality of specialization or restructuring, and the problem of employment by sector and region. The military R&D has very close relationships with high technology programmes, with some civil programmes and main national industries. They produce some crowding-out effects, with spill overs, he demand-pull effects and an influence on civil R&D.
