(orcid)0000-0003-1399-5484 Characterisation of Technological Collaborations and Evolution in the Spanish Defence Industry 2022 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted Collaboration with technological partners as an innovation strategy has become widespread in recent years, and all sectors are immersed in this process. In particular, the defence industry is characterised by the technological complexity of the products and services offered, together with a constant innovation process. However, data that allow us to identify characteristics that are found in collaboration contracts are not usually available in this sector. This paper addresses this gap in the literature by studying the different characteristics of both the technological partners and the development agreements for the 1999-2017 period. This is possible thanks to a database of more than 300 collaboration technology agreements between public and private organisations and the Spanish Ministry of Defence. The results provide the Ministry of Defence with a clear picture of the type of collaborations in the Defence industry, their partners and their behaviour under different economic conditions, which will help it identify the type of collaborations that can contribute to improving the design of its innovation strategy. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/AEI-FEDER/ECO2016-77-P info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA-FEDER/Construyendo Europa desde Aragón info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S52-17R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ECO2016-76255-P info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/PID2019-106642GB-I00 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/CUD-UNIZAR 27267 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/CUD2018-12 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/UZCUD2018-SOC-04 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 1.6 2022 ECONOMICS 236 / 380 = 0.621 2022 Q3 T2 0.583 2022 Social Sciences (miscellaneous) 2022 Q1 Economics and Econometrics 2022 Q2 3.7 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Fernández Olmos, M.
