Abstract

France was submitted to a US embargo on strategic technologies and products, so had to create them alone. This capacity in turn gave France a strong position on export market, which constituted a necessary complement to a policy of national independence, after the withdrawal from the integrated NATO command and the search for self-sufficiency. Military budgets maintain a relatively high level of defence expenses after the USSR crisis. Form the French arms industry, arms exports become a more and more necessity in order to obtain some scales economies. Dual technologies and spinoff of military R&D was encouraged, such as the possibility of international cooperation on programmes, the development of offsets and the rule of "juste retour".
