About

Conventional weapons is a research concept referring to military armaments and systems whose destructive power derives primarily from kinetic energy, chemical explosives, or other established physical and chemical processes, thereby distinguishing them from weapons of mass destruction such as nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. As a research field, it investigates the development, proliferation, strategic deployment, operational effects, and humanitarian impact of such weapon systems in the context of international security and armed conflict dynamics.
