Abstract

An analysis of open sources and online publications regarding strategic planning, in particular the technical component of the defense forces, showed that the issue of life cycle was left out of consideration of samples of armaments and military equipment, both when assessing capabilities in the defense review and during medium and long term defense planning. The results of the defense review as an information basis for capability-based defense planning, without considering the life cycle of samples of armaments and military equipment, may not be realistic enough, which in the worst case may not ensure reliable implementation of national defense tasks.The purpose of the article is to substantiate the need considering during the defense review and defense planning process, based on capabilities, the life cycle of a promising model of armaments and military equipment to rationally forecast and allocate defense resources to ensure a reliable level of defense.A typical life cycle of a product of armaments and military equipment may include several stages. The number of stages depends on the complexity of the type of sample being created and the conditions of its implementation, which follow from the following constraints: the financial condition of the country, technological capabilities of production and time indicators.There is a pre-concept stage in NATO countries, one of the tasks of the stage in addition to substantiating the main goals and requirements for a promising model of armaments and military equipment, is identifying of possible risks in product development based on: forecast indicators of defense budget, technological capabilities and scientific potential.Qualitative and timely determination of the need for new (modernized) models of armaments and military equipment during the defense review is the basis for ordering the necessary budget resources and setting certain tasks for the medium and long term, which in turn will find its place in the State Targeted Defense Arms and Development Program of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
