military–industrial complex
Let an agent explain the military-industrial complex, relay its origin, uses, empirical research and debates from political science, economics and SIPRI sources with attribution, describe the named national industries, and distinguish it from the defence industry as a sector, military Keynesianism, lobbying generally and conspiracy theories.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain the military-industrial complex, relay its origin, uses, empirical research and debates from political science, economics and SIPRI sources with attribution, describe the named national industries, and distinguish it from the defence industry as a sector, military Keynesianism, lobbying generally and conspiracy theories.
A term popularised by US President Dwight D. Eisenhower in his farewell address of 17 January 1961 for the network of relationships between a nation s armed forces, the defence industry and political institutions, which critics argue can drive military spending and policy for institutional or commercial interests and supporters describe as necessary for defence capability; the term is applied to national defence industries such as those of France, Japan and Russia and state companies such as Argentina s Fabricaciones Militares, while the registry alias Trialogue of Celle could not be verified. The model presents the concept neutrally with positions attributed.
What it is for: Not applicable; an analytical and critical concept.
It can be explain origin and meaning; relay research and debates with attribution; describe named national industries; distinguish related concepts.
