Summary/Abstract: Defence industrial cooperation across the Atlantic has fallen on bad days in recent years. The number of official transatlantic defence programmes has dwindled to a handful, of which the frequently-threatened MEADS air defence system isthe most notable. Increasingly, for major defence acquisition programmes, such as air transport and missiles, European governments are showing a ninclination to ‘buy European’, while the US tradition of ‘buy American’ remains as hardy as ever.
