Defense industry of Alduria
Alduria's military industry is an emerging industry in Alduria, rapidly becoming a strategically important sector in the Aldurian economy. Alduria's defense industry has significantly developed given key government investments made in research and development since 1673 AN. The defense industry is partly government-owned and partly privatized. It is dominated by five large private contractors: Javelin Industries, the Pontecorvo Firm, Kerularios & Company, Neridia Defense Industries and ESB Susa. The government-owned military contractors are Armaments of Alduria, Aldurian Aviation Corporation, and the National Research and Development Corporation. It contains a second tier of smaller, more specialized companies and suppliers as well.
Defense exports are worth on average 1.5 billion ecu per annum to the Aldurian economy, expected to grow with the development of the Silver Hammer system. The share of defense expenditure as a percentage of government spending has increased recently due to the West Baatharzi War and Alduria's involvement in regional developments like Operation Hugo Grotius.
Alduria has historically been a buyer of weapons mostly from Sanama and the Allied Production Matrix of the Raspur Pact's leading industrial powers. In recent years, defense procurement in Alduria has opted to instead purchase and source all their equipment and future procurement from Aldurian and Natopian defense companies.
