👉 The U.S. Department of Defense's primary weapon system, often referred to as the Military-Industrial Complex, encompasses a vast array of military hardware, technology, and services developed and supplied by the Department of Defense (DoD) and its contractors. This includes advanced aircraft like the F-35, naval vessels such as the USS Gerald R. Ford, and cutting-edge missile defense systems like THAAD and Patriot. The DoD also invests heavily in research and development for emerging technologies, including cyber warfare capabilities, artificial intelligence, and hypersonic weapons. The agency's weapon systems are designed to maintain national security, project power globally, and ensure rapid response to threats, integrating seamlessly with the broader military infrastructure.
