Abstract

Within the context of the restructuring of the European defense industry since the end of the cold war, this article addresses the land armaments sector in general, and armored vehicles in particular. The industry is generally divided into the aerospace, naval, land, and electronics sectors, of which aerospace and electronic are highly internationalized while the land and naval ones remain fragmented and nationally based. Economic characteristics of the land armaments industry—lower R&D costs and longer production runs—still permit the predominance of a nationally-focused production model, yet post-cold war market changes toward lighter platforms, and resulting synergies with the civilian truck industry, imply a comparative weakening of state sovereignty and, consequently, stronger market contestability as compared to the other defense industry sectors.
欧洲陆地军备工业的重组:在政治激励和经济压力之间
在冷战结束以来欧洲国防工业结构调整的背景下,本文主要讨论陆地军备部门,特别是装甲车。该产业大致分为航空航天、海军、陆地和电子部门,其中航空航天和电子高度国际化,而陆地和海军仍然是分散的,以国家为基础。陆地军备工业的经济特点——较低的研发成本和较长的生产周期——仍然允许以国家为重点的生产模式占据主导地位,然而冷战后市场向轻型平台的转变,以及由此产生的与民用卡车工业的协同作用,意味着国家主权的相对削弱,因此,与其他国防工业部门相比,市场竞争力更强。
