In the OECD, the United States spend nearly half of its government research and development budget on defense. Turkey and Japan followed behind with nearly 16 percent. On average, 18.5 percent of the R&D spending of OECD countries was budgeted for the defense sector, but the high spending of the U.S. has a high influence on this figure.
