Abstract: The military sector has undoubtedly played an active part in France's economic development, particularly in the nuclear field, aeronautics, space technologies, helicopters and electronics. However, the 10 largest French companies are only marginally involved in the military sector and in terms of employment 1.1% of the active population is concerned. However, the defence industry plays an important role in certain regions and industries in terms of exports. French industries now sell more arms for export than to the French army.
