The world owes a lot to engineers. Almost all aspects of our daily lives highly rely on their inventions and systematized solutions. Where would the modern world be without them? It’s hard to imagine. Of the many fields of engineering, one that is rarely highlighted is defence engineering.
Few people know much about it as it is something that most people can’t relate to. Such should not be the case as it is the very core that helps in maintaining global harmony and world peace. It is something that everyone can easily relate to, it’s just that not much is done to make it understood by many. This post will do just that. This post will make you understand defence engineering by providing information and insight on its following points.Â

Main differences if compared to other engineering fieldsÂ
You will gain a new perspective and appreciation of defence engineering after reading this post.
Defence Engineering: Definition
Defence engineering is the advanced branch of engineering that deals with providing solutions for the prevention of conflicts between nations. It caters to the military and non-military needs of different institutions and nations in line with the promotion of security. Defence engineers work on tools for defense used for air, land, and sea conflicts. Engineering firms like Bendtech Defence, provide tools to government and private companies to provide protection.
Defence Engineering: Function
Defence engineers dedicate time and effort in order to provide the following to public and private institutions:
1. Prevention of Extreme Risks
More than providing the tools and equipment for security and protection, defence engineers go out of their way to ensure safety across all endpoints. Defence entails the risk of putting in danger the lives of multiple parties: civilians, equipment handlers, and possible targets of equipment handlers. This is why defence engineers devise ways to make tools and equipment easy, convenient, and safe to use. Defence engineering is all about creating the best possible level of security without compromising safety.
2. Economic Aid
Safety and security come at a price. It is not affordable to keep and maintain peace and order, may it be in a nation or a private institution. This is why defence engineers do non-stop research to look for ways and means to make defence more accessible. Defence engineers figure out all possible solutions to come up with the most economically sound materials and mechanisms without compromising performance.
Defence engineers need to ensure that nations and private institutions are able to afford tools and equipment for the maintenance of peace, order, and safety for all without going bankrupt. Defence engineers come up with ways to make safety easily available for all.
3. Enhanced Durability
As defence tools and equipment are not affordable, defence engineers also devise ways to make all such items extremely durable and long-lasting. Defence engineers find ways to ensure that all produced tools and equipment can survive extreme conditions and can actually be used for years to come.
This is highly important because funding for defence does not come easy. With the world getting more and more aware of the dangers and unnecessariness of conflicts, it becomes more and more challenging to finance research and development for defence. This is why defence engineers exert effort to secure that all produced tools and equipment are worth every single penny.
Main Differences if Compared to Other Engineering Fields
The following are the main differences of defence engineering if be compared to other fields of engineering:
1. Scope of work
There is no platform that defence engineers can’t attend to. They can come up with machines, tools, and instruments that can be used on land, water, and air. They can easily provide custom solutions for the particular needs of different sectors in different places. There is no part of society that defence engineers cannot tend to.
This is because all parts of society need security, peace, and order to be able to function well. This is something that makes defence engineering uniquely different from all other fields of engineering. So much so, that defence engineering is even necessary for all other fields of engineering to seamlessly function. It is impossible to excel if there is no peace and security.
2. Civil Responsibility
The demand for civil responsibility is extremely high in the field of defence engineering. This is because the field is centered on providing civil safety. No other field of engineering is directly participating in ensuring the security, safety, and protection of civilians. The only field of engineering that can come close to this level of civil responsibility is medical engineering. Similar to medical engineering, the field of defence engineering is all about ensuring the safety of all lives.
3. Costs
The defence industry is worth $551 billion. Much money is at play because the need for security, safety, peace, and order is essential for all public and private institutions. Defence engineers produce and manufacture equipment in bulk and in massive amounts. They produce vehicles, ships, planes, machines, and even spacecraft using only the best possible materials and tools. As there are many nations and private institutions in the world, the demand is ever constant and high. As the demand is high and resources are limited, providing for defence is uber expensive. Of the many fields of engineering, the products of defence engineering are ones that are not affordable at all.Â
