The arms industry is a global business that manufactures weapons and military technology and equipment. It consists of commercial industry involved in research and development, engineering, production, and the service of military material, equipment, and facilities. Arms producing companies, also referred to as defense contractors or military industry, produce arms mainly for the armed forces of states. Departments of government also operate in the arms industry, buying and selling weapons, munitions and other military items. Products include guns, ammunition, missiles, military aircraft, military vehicles, ships, electronic systems, and more. The arms industry also provides other logistical and operational support.
It is estimated that yearly, over 1.5 trillion United States dollars are spent on military expenditures worldwide (2.7% of World GDP). This represents a decline from 1990 when military expenditures made up 4% of world GDP. Part of this goes to the procurement of military hardware and services from the military industry. The combined arms sales of the top 100 largest arms producing companies amounted to an estimated $395 billion in 2012 according to Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). In 2004 over $30 billion were spent in the international arms trade (a figure that excludes domestic sales of arms). According to SIPRI, the volume of international transfers of major weapons in 2010–14 was 16 per cent higher than in 2005–2009. The five biggest exporters in 2010–14 were the United States, Russia, China, Germany and France, and the five biggest importers were India, Saudi Arabia, China, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Pakistan. The arms trade has also been one of the sectors impacted by the credit crunch, with total deal value in the market halving from US$32.9 billion to US$14.3 billion in 2008.
Defense or defence may refer to:
Web television (abbreviated web TV) is the genre of original television content produced for broadcast via the World Wide Web. (The phrase "web television" is also sometimes used to refer to Internet television in general, which includes Internet-transmission of programs produced for both online and traditional terrestrial, cable, or satellite broadcast).
Web television content includes web series such as Husbands (2011–present), Red vs. Blue (2004–present), My Gay Roommate; original miniseries such as Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog (2008); animated shorts such as those of Homestar Runner; and exclusive video that supplements conventional television broadcasts.
Some major distributors of web television are YouTube, Netflix, Newgrounds, Blip.tv, Amazon.com, Hulu, and Crackle.
Some examples of web television production companies are: Next New Networks, Vuguru, Revision3, and Generate LA-NY.
In 2008, the International Academy of Web Television (an organisation headquartered in Los Angeles) formed with the mission to organize and support web television authors, actors, producers, and executives. The organisation administers the selection of winners for the Streamy Awards.
Land Forces may refer to:
Security is the degree of resistance to, or protection from, harm. It applies to any vulnerable and valuable asset, such as a person, dwelling, community, item, nation, or organization.
As noted by the Institute for Security and Open Methodologies (ISECOM) in the OSSTMM 3, security provides "a form of protection where a separation is created between the assets and the threat." These separations are generically called "controls," and sometimes include changes to the asset or the threat.
Security has two dialogues. Negative dialogue is about danger, risk, threat and etc. Positive dialogue is about opportunities, Interests, profits and etc. Negative dialogue needs military equipment, armies, police. Positive dialogue needs social capital, Education, social interaction.
Perception of security may be poorly mapped to measureable objective security. For example, the fear of earthquakes has been reported to be more common than the fear of slipping on the bathroom floor although the latter kills many more people than the former. Similarly, the perceived effectiveness of security measures is sometimes different from the actual security provided by those measures. The presence of security protections may even be taken for security itself. For example, two computer security programs could be interfering with each other and even cancelling each other's effect, while the owner believes s/he is getting double the protection.

A comprehensive Documentary about Research and manufacturing of Military technology and weapons in Pakistan
Since 2009, Russia's increase in defense spending and large military modernization program has revived its defense industrial complex. By all appearances, the Russian defense industry is back, producing planes, ships, and a host of new weapon systems for a revamped military. Yet future budget cuts, sanctions, growing competition on the international market, and its own inefficiency and corruption are likely to limit the defense industry’s capacity to deliver on promises. Will Russia be able to overcome these challenges to fulfill its ambitious defense plans? How will the defense sector fare in these hard times for Russia's economy? Ruslan Pukhov and Keith Crane will discuss what the future might hold for Russia's defense industry.
The Honorable William J. Lynn III, former U.S. deputy secretary of defense and Admiral James Stavridis, USN (Ret.) discuss strategy, technology and the future of the defense industry. Technology and National Security Program Director Ben FitzGerald moderates the panel.

This event will focus on optimizing the industrial capabilities available to the Department of Defense, which include its organic capabilities (depots, arsenals, and labs), federally-funded research and development centers, and private sector service providers and suppliers. In the 1990s and 2000s, efforts were made to change the degree of participation of all these elements of the industrial base through adopting new government initiatives, contracting out, contracting in, and setting limits on the work of FFRDCs. So far, it is unclear whether these initiatives have left us with improved industrial capabilities for the current security environment, but as these industrial base shifts have occurred, several positive partnerships have emerged out of cooperation between organic, non-profit, ...
The Pentagon is the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, located in Arlington County, Virginia. As a symbol of the U.S. military, "the Pentagon" is often used metonymically to refer to the U.S. Department of Defense. The Pentagon was designed by American architect George Bergstrom (1876–1955), and built by general contractor John McShain of Philadelphia. Ground was broken for construction on September 11, 1941, and the building was dedicated on January 15, 1943. General Brehon Somervell provided the major motive power behind the project; Colonel Leslie Groves was responsible for overseeing the project for the U.S. Army. The Department of Defense is an executive branch department of the federal government of the United States charged with coordinating and supervising ...
