GDIB maps the global defence industrial base — platform to subsystem to supplier. Every relationship sourced, confidence-rated and searchable.
| Platform | Supplier | Subsystem |
|---|---|---|
| F-35 Lightning II US | Pratt & Whitney US | Propulsion |
| Gerald R. Ford-class US | Newport News US | Power |
| Eurofighter Typhoon EU | Leonardo IT | Radar |
| K2 Black Panther KR | Hyundai Rotem KR | Production |

The frames are the layers of the industrial base — platform, subsystem, supplier. The bar breaks out through every frame: the sourced relationship GDIB traces, running clean across all layers.
The same sourced relationships, seen as a network and as geography — a dependency you can trace, and a border you can watch it cross.
Every platform, supplier and subsystem as one force-directed map. Follow an engine house across four programmes, or find the single node three primes depend on.
Interactive on /exploreCross-border flows drawn between producer nations — tier‑1 platform links and tier‑2 company dependencies, so concentration and chokepoints are visible at a glance.
Interactive on /exploreStart from a platform, a company or a subsystem. Every entity links to everything it touches — no dead ends.
Who supplies the sensor, the engine, the munitions. Cross-platform dependencies static directories can't show.
Each relationship carries its source, a confidence rating and a verification date. Open-source intelligence, done properly.
