Планування розвитку спроможностей ракетних військ і артилерії Збройних Сил України: понятійний апарат

Abstract

Analysis of regulations, practical implementation of measures during the implementation of defense planning based on Capability-Based Defense Planning System during 2019 revealed differences in the views of experts. They are mainly related to the lack of a unified vision of the conceptual apparatus and methodology for translating capabilities into quantitative and qualitative indicators for the transition of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other components of Defense Forces to Capability-Based Planning. The purpose of the article is to define the notion of “Planning development of capabilities of Rocket Forces and Artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine” (RFA). Today as part of the Defense Review in Ukraine addresses the RFA development planning task based on the Capability-Based Planning procedures outlined in the Guidelines (methodical recommendations). At the same time, an analysis of recent research shows that the content of RFA reform and development planning processes in previous years did not respond to its functions and as a result, the goals of RFA reform and development were not achieved. An analysis of current conceptual papers on capability-based defense planning shows that researchers and experts have several points of view on the essence of the concept of and its relationship to such concepts as “capability” and “combat capability”. To provide greater visibility into the concept of “RFA Capability Development Planning”, the concept of “RFA Capability Development Management” is formalized. The essence of such management is to implement a set of measures to eliminate the mismatch between the actual state of the RFA and the desired state. That is one that must be determined based on the needs of satisfying the military security of the state, considered it’s a resource and economic capabilities. The RFA capability development management process can be considered as the RFA capability development planning process and the planning output implementation process.
