Blockchain technology, with its decentralized structure and high security levels, has garnered significant interest, particularly in critical sectors like defense. This technology stands out for its potential to enable secure data sharing, traceability, and operational efficiency. Digital clustering, on the other hand, holds potential for enhancing innovation and collaboration in the defense industry. This study uses literature review and case analysis methods to evaluate the applicability of blockchain and digital clustering technologies in the defense industry. The results indicate that if these technologies are properly integrated, they can provide significant advantages in terms of data security, traceability, and innovation within the sector.
