VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 26, 2025 /CNW/ -- Global military spending hit a record $2.7 trillion in 2024, marking a 9.4% surge that represents the steepest year-over-year increase in at least three decades as nations respond to "intensifying wars and rising geopolitical tensions worldwide," according to UN report[1]. NATO's updated defense expenditure data released in August confirms all 32 allies are expected to meet the 2% GDP spending target this year, while the alliance's commitment to reach 5% of GDP by 2035 creates unprecedented demand for advanced military technologies and platforms[2].

(NASDAQ: VWAV), Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE: LMT), L3Harris Technologies (NYSE: LHX), MDA Space Ltd. (TSX: MDA) (OTCPK: MDALF), and General Dynamics Corporation (NYSE: GD).
