Abstract

The views on improvement of the existing system of weapons and military equipment maintenance by adapting to therequirements of the present time and of a new state of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are developed in the article. In modern conditions, the current system of maintenance and repair of weapons and military equipment conceptually does not meet the requirements of the new system of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and cannot provide solutions to the challenges that face it. It is based on inadequate modern regulatory and technical documentation, non-adaptive to such factors: – competitive mechanisms for placing orders for maintenance and repair; – the functioning of the military-industrial complex in a market economy and a variety of forms of ownership; – a sharp reduction in the number of personnel that can be involved in the carrying out of actions, and lowering the level of his qualifications; – the need for the full participation of industrial enterprises in the maintenance and repair of both new types of weapons and military equipment (due to their difficult design), and that of weapons that are in operation (due to their deterioration). Based on this, to implement the idea of creating a new system of service maintenance and repair of weapons and military equipment, it is necessary to carry out a set of measures regarding: 1. The reprocessing of normative and technical documentation for the maintenance and repair of weapons and military equipment in order to form, with respect to each sample, the entire complex of regulated documents agreed upon with the developers (persons entrusted with their work) with the establishment of clear warranty responsibilities. 2. Preparation of a list of groups of weapons and military equipment, in part of which an approach can be implemented with responsibility for supplying enterprises or repair enterprises for maintaining them to the specified degree of readiness for intended use. 3. The construction of optimal logistic schemes, as well as the organization of integrated service centers for post-warranty maintenance and repair of weapons and military equipment in areas close to places of deployment. 4. Formation of a base for recording the technical condition of each type of weapon in order to determine the need for maintenance and repair measures to maintain weapons and military equipment in the established degrees of readiness for intended use and forecasting on this basis the amount of necessary resources for the short and medium term for use in the formation and refinement of the State program of reforming the Armed Forces of Ukraine. 5. The formation, based on a combination of economic and administrative mechanisms, of an effective system for monitoring the volume and quality of work carried out as part of service maintenance and repair. Keywords: weapons and military equipment, service maintenance, maintenance system.
