    Armament means weapons and military equipment, especially the kind a country, army, or ship keeps ready for war — guns, tanks, missiles, and so on. You mostly meet this word in news about the military or history, in phrases like 'an arms and armament buildup.' It can also mean the act of preparing for war, though the 'weapons' meaning is far more common today.
