USA: Defense & Military heartland
There are quite a number of Defense companies headquartered in North America. Or should one say the USA?
SIPRI's list of the biggest (Top100) arms manufacturers of 2014 has exactly 42 companies headquartered in the USA. That's 54 percent.
Furthermore, all companies ranked in the Top 10 are based in the USA and Western Europe. Their combined turnover is 49.6 per cent of the total sales of the Top 100 in 2014, a slight fall from the 50.0 per cent share in 2013.
