This list of military aircraft weapons in production and in development by the European defence industry aims at summarising the current status of the aerospace defence industry in Europe. This list focuses on the Western European military block industry, and excludes Russia, Belarus and Serbia.
Some of the systems included have foreign participation, some others are 100% European. The main participants in the systems are mentioned.
