Defence Techno-Industrial Bases in Hungary and the United States

Defence Techno-Industrial Bases (DTIB) are essential to the modern security architecture of both Hungary and the United States. Acting as hubs for research, design, and manufacuring of critical technologies and military equipment, the continued robust development of this area is a shared interest of Hungary and the United States. In an increasingly volatile geopolitical environment in Ukraine, the Caucuses, and Central Asia, the importance of Hungary’s defence policy for the shared security interests of NATO member states is clear. 

Outlined here is an explanation of the origins of Hungarian and American defence industrial bases, and their respective transformations into modern Defence Techno-Industrial Bases. Yet there remains an incentive for adaptation and shared development of these techno-industrial bases, namely to strategically optimise their abilities to promote economic growth and to facilitate further security cooperation between Hungary and the United States.
