The Packilvanian Armed Forces has two key strengths in its military procurement: highly competitive costs for equipment and long-term military spending. Budgets for projects are allocated over years rather than on an annual basis allowing funding for expenditure on procurement and research and development to be available throughout the product development lifecycle. This has enabled arms manufacturers to have a secure client and to keep laboratories and production lines operational for long periods of time, enabling the development of extremely robust and scalable production lines. With the vast orders that the government makes, the country's arms manufacturers enjoy cost saving capabilities due to the massive economies of scale.
Packilvanian military equipment especially in small arms, artillery and naval vessels (excluding aircraft carriers and submarines) is at the standard of Great Morstaybishlia and South Hills. Although the country is half to a third of a generation behind these two powers in the production of fixed wing combat air craft, the country benefits from having a relatively high level of autonomy in the supply of critical parts and components for repairs and upgrades. In the area of military software, Packilvanian military assets are largely if not entirely independent of foreign sources.
