Abstract

The Defense Sector is a sector based on technology, to the extent that it requires processes of development, acquisition and use of technological assets to achieve the objectives of its mission, aimed at guaranteeing national sovereignty and citizen security. It is a strategic sector that, mainly in developing countries, depends to a large extent on technology transfer activities, and in which the concept of dual technology (referring to the possibility of implementing both military and civil applications) is key. This paper aims to analyze the management of technology and innovation in this sector. To this end, a study was initially made on the particularities of the Defense Sector in the international scope, with emphasis on the Colombian case.
