The "military industrial complex" refers to the close relationship between the military and defense industry, where the interests of both sectors become intertwined. This relationship often leads to the development and production of advanced military technology and equipment, as well as the allocation of significant government funding towards defense contracts.

In the last twenty years, the military industrial complex has been replaced by the rise of the technology and cybersecurity industries as significant players in the defense sector. This shift has occurred due to the increasing reliance on digital and cyber warfare, as well as the development of advanced technologies such as drones, artificial intelligence, and autonomous systems for military use.

This change has happened for several reasons. Firstly, advancements in technology have made traditional military equipment and tactics less effective, leading to a greater emphasis on cyber and technological warfare. Additionally, the increasing interconnectedness of the global economy and the rise of non-state actors in conflicts have also necessitated a shift towards more advanced and adaptable defense technologies.

Furthermore, the privatization and commercialization of technology have allowed for greater innovation and competition in the defense sector, leading to the emergence of new players and a diversification of defense capabilities. As a result, the traditional military industrial complex has been replaced by a more dynamic and technologically-driven defense industry.
