[Key Lecture Content] The defense industry is attracting attention as a field for growth strategy consideration, while facing constraints such as the declining birthrate, supply chain vulnerabilities, and uncertainty in business continuity. Based on the public report 'Environmental Changes Surrounding the Defense Industry and Corporate Choices,' this lecture re-examines the defense industry not just as equipment supply, but as an industrial structure encompassing technology, supply chains, and economic security. Furthermore, it will present the possibilities and decision criteria for Japanese companies to participate in the 'International Supply Model,' which consists of three forms: finished equipment export, international joint development/production, and regional maintenance bases.
