Sale and Liquidation	The reduction and modernisation of the armed forces leads to superfluous defence and general military equipment. For armasuisse the sale of obsolete equipment has first priority.
Security-relevant Technology and Industry Base (STIB)	The STIB aims to contribute to reducing Switzerland’s dependencies on foreign countries in terms of armaments policy in defined areas. It should be able to ensure the central technolog-ical expertise and industrial capabilities for the Armed Forces and other institutions of national security in Switzerland with the required capacities.
