Decomposition-aggregation techniques are developed for modelling and stability studies of arms race systems. Two approaches are developed, in the first one aggregation concepts are used to develop an aggregate reduced order model representing the multivariables multinations model of the arms race system. In the second approach a two levels decomposition-aggregation technique is developed to transform the initial system model into two subsystems for which an equivalent aggregate armament level is developed. Then conditions for asymptotic stability are derived allowing to determine an equilibrium level of armaments leading to a halt in arms race.
