Determinants of the armament industry strategy in the time of war and unrest

The geopolitical situation after February 24, 2022 changed rapidly. The issues of globalization and industrial linkages have taken on new importance. Cooperation in supply chains is no longer based solely on cost minimization. The economic aspect was relegated to the background in favor of the availability of raw materials and goods. Against this background, the arms industry is taking on a new dimension and its effectiveness, operational efficiency and innovation become the conditions for maintaining a sense of security within NATO and the European Union. The aim of this article is an attempt to identify the determinants of the armaments industry strategy of the times of war and unrest. The speed of action becomes a determinant of the armaments industry functioning. It is necessary to cooperate with enterprises that were not active in the processes of arms production so far.
