General Dynamics Corp.

General Dynamics Corporation is a major U.S. defense contractor that supplies weapons and munitions to the Israeli military, which are used in the occupied Palestinian territories. The company manufactures Mark 84 2,000-pound bombs and 155mm artillery shells, which have been extensively supplied to Israel and used in military operations in Gaza, according to AFSC Investigate. These weapons sales materially support military activities in territories considered occupied under international law.

Human rights organizations, including Al-Haq, Al Mezan, B'Tselem, and Amnesty International, have published evidence of potential war crimes in these conflicts involving munitions like those General Dynamics produces. The company's role as a key arms supplier links its operations directly to the ongoing occupation. AFSC Investigate lists General Dynamics on its divestment list for companies complicit in Israel's settlement enterprise and military actions in the occupied territories.

General Dynamics Corporation is a major defense contractor specializing in purpose-built weapons systems and military platforms. According to the SIPRI Top 100 list for 2023, the company generated $33.6 billion in arms revenue, representing approximately 70% of its total revenue. This places it among the world's largest arms-producing companies.

The company’s core business units manufacture combat vehicles, including the Abrams main battle tank; nuclear-powered submarines for the U.S. Navy; and mission-critical command, control, and communications systems. Its products are developed and marketed specifically for military applications, meeting the threshold for specialized products targeting military customers. The scale of its defense revenue, constituting a dominant majority of its business, firmly establishes it within the war-industrial complex.
