This thread is to discuss the possibility of developing a Military Industrial Complex within the member countries, to meet the domestic needs of member countries and then export to non-member countries.
There are 57 member countries.
Organisation of Islamic Cooperation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The total military budget of these countries together exceed US$100 Billion.
List of countries by military expenditures - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Currently most of the military hardware used in these countries are being imported from outside OIC member countries.
We want to explore possibility of devising a comprehensive plan, so that:
- efforts are not duplicated among member countries
- all military hardware is standardized
- at least 2 production bases are setup in 2 member states for a particular item
- technology transfer is sought from countries willing to participate in this program (South Korea, China etc.)
- production is fairly distributed within member countries, considering the human and material resource available in each country
- financing is sought from wealthier countries who have available fund
The main idea of the OICMIC is to integrate and create a team work between the Militay industries within member countries, so that more and more items can be produced in-house and thus substitute import from non-member countries. For tech transfer and collaboration, I recommend South Korea and Japan (when Japanese constitution is changed to support export of military tech) as first tier priority countries and China and Taiwan as 2nd tier countries, mainly for items and techs that are not available in 1st tier countries.
In an earlier thread we have discussed a plan for OICPKF:

I believe the OICPKF will be an effective way to counter balance the Western influence and control of Military of some larger OIC member countries, who contribute heavily to UN PKF program and thus get financially benefited. This will also be a hedge against this Western influence which often foments political instability in OIC member countries, using this financial influence within the Military of these countries.
In addition to the OICPKF, once the military hardware is standardized, we need to hold regular Military exercises among OIC member countries, to enhance interoperability, team work and responding effectively to emergency situations.
Currently OIC has the following organs:

COMSTECH
But the above OIC organs do not include or emphasize the military hardware market. I believe there is tremendous potential for this idea, as we have the budget (more than $100 billion), the facilities, the man power and available tech partner countries. In brief all the elements are there for increasing team work, self sufficiency and reducing dependence on others.
The development of this OICMIC, together with OICPKF and OIC military exercises and the resulting synergy between participating countries can be a tremendous boost for the security of OIC member states, which is a precondition of maintaining peace and continuing the task of national development taking advantage of this peace.
