Abstract: French defence statistics identify six main industrial sectors within the armament industry, aerospace, electronics, shipyards and arsenals, mechanics and metallurgy, nuclear and others. There are new activities in aerospace and electronics, traditional activities with mechanics and metallurgy, and nuclear technology. They are interesting exporters, but with offsets contracts. In order to export, France is often compelled to buy back some foreign products, often low tech for third world suppliers. What is the relative importance of defence within each industrial sector? There are good correlations for aerospace, electronics, shipbuilding and nuclear. There are bade correlations for ammunition and small arms and motor vehicles, and no correlation for machines and engineering.
