reshuffle, the global arms market competition become distorted

historical experience tells us that the economic crisis the occasion of the arms trade is booming, driven by the arms move the economy may well be an emergency. This year’s Stockholm International Peace Research Institute in Sweden released a statistical report on international arms markets, the United States, Russia, Britain, Germany, France is the world’s largest arms exporting countries. U.S. and Russian arms exports which accounted for half of the world share. French Defense Minister to face the global arms trade accounted for 6% of the share’s performance was quite unhappy, made a major exporter of arms to restore the status of the financial crisis pushed up the order throughout the year to 60 billion euros, up 10% over last year and strive to . The future, as the financial crisis continues to spread, the global economic downturn will stimulate competition in the arms trade. In the United States and Europe account for arms exports will continue to maintain the position of the biggest names in the background, market competition will move toward multi-polarization characteristics, which will lead to a new pattern of global changes in the military industry.

so-called multi-polarization refers to the global arms market will see more oligopolistic. The United States will continue to occupy a dominant position, but its share will decline, mainly the United States to wage war for years to limited conditions, their weapons consumption demand will decline. By this time, Russia’s military revival, the level of rapid growth of weapons, the United States embargo on arms sales to the country’s main source of advanced weapons. The “Sukhoi” manufacturing bureau top, nearly 20 Russian weapons suppliers active in the global arms market, under the arms trade in the financial crisis saw a significant growth.

to the other extreme is the European Union, the Western European countries in the most secure and stable period of low demand of its own defense, the military to the miniaturization. Must stimulate domestic demand, external demand, while a separate European defense system is very difficult to walk the road of the merger, the implementation of combining the complementary advantages, together with the U.S. competition has become a trend.

present, led by Germany and France is the road to promote regional integration in the European Union to achieve military regional military alliance, in a bid to scale with the U.S. Lockheed Martin to compete. Like the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company’s establishment, and the Galileo navigation satellite of the joint R & D, will increase European competitiveness in the whole series of weapons. Today, the European Union and the United States nearly close combat missile market, Europe’s “Meteor” BVR air to air missiles and the U.S. AIM-120 medium-range air to air missiles began to grab buyers, and even suggested the European arms into the U.S. market.

Another potential pole in Japan, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Fuji Group, Mitsui self-contained mechanical and other large manufacturers in the global manufacturing industry occupies an important position in a cost-effective, practical Japanese military and civilian companies are taking the road of unity, Japan’s production capacity is not Europe, under the arms. Due to the three principles of arms export restrictions, they are tied by the joint production of military enterprises in the United States on the return of arms. Japan is now taking advantage of U.S. and European financial crisis, the name of the next generation of Japanese bid under the banner of the main fighters lured F-35 and Europe, “Typhoon” aircraft data, making F-15 as back as to go it alone. Once the removal of restrictions on exports of weapons, the Japanese occupied the world arms market, a very little suspense.

since last year, the global defense industry toward multi-polarization is an important indicator of the standard variety of weapons and equipment, in addition to the well-known series of Russian weapons and the United States differ, the EU began to establish their own set of standards , called the European defense standards, intended to get rid of U.S. military standards. This is not universal, exclusive of military production trends become more evident, which means major arms in the fight for global sphere of influence on the oligarchs have to “is not wind prevailing over the west, is the overwhelming westerly wind,” the point, India’s Su-30 fighters in one hand one hand and a U.S. air to air missiles and airborne radar, two blank is then not, the only research project on their own how comprehensive integration.

carefully, to lead the development of weapons with high low trend

financial crisis not only accelerated the competition between the military industry, also contributed to the development of national military weapons start a budget. States military is no longer comfortable for a longer period will continue, according to weapons development plan would have to reconsider the size of the plate. In other words, higher technology in weapons development, cost of road will transition to the pursuit of superior cost-effective path.

the U.S. military is concerned, the pursuit of full-spectrum superiority is no longer realistic, the general procurement of weapons and equipment will cost as the criterion, rather than emphasize a comprehensive and high technology. Army helicopters as replacement ready to find a global low-cost manufacturers, a number of medium-military enterprises may obtain such orders. This will mean that the U.S. military will take a multi-level weapons development path will lead not only to meet the global arms production requires high-end, leaving the low-end weapons and increased demand. This means that by reducing the number of technical performance to pull down the cost would be universal, Lockheed – Martin on the F-35 model may be taken to reduce the future performance of the pioneers of this trend, but the company’s customers opaque, There are suspected of cutting corners.

Another trend is the upgrading of existing weapons and equipment will become the new trend, high-tech equipment embedded in the old weapons platform can save a lot of money, this path of all countries in financial crisis useful option. According to this thinking, the development of future weapons and equipment, embedded software systems and new modules will be the focus of development and reconstruction of the platform carrying weapons proportion will be greatly reduced.
