'To be better equipped and better armed'

摘要

With more than 10,000 employees, the French Direction generate de I'armement (DGA) coordinates armament projects with industry in France, within Europe, and also with customers for export. All in all, this amounts to more than a hundred major weapons programmes and operations in all areas of defence. The DGA also undertakes the testing and assessment of equipment and military technologies. In addition, the DCA supervises engineering schools that operate under the scrutiny of the Ministry of Defence. ESD had the opportunity to interview Joel Barre, Head of the DGA.
