Підходи до імплементації стандартів НАТО у Збройних Силах України

Abstract

The article discusses some issues of implementation of standards adopted in the armies of NATO member-states in the Armed Forces of Ukraine to improve the effectiveness of defense reform. Ways to implement European and Euro-Atlantic standards include the implementation of international obligations set out in international law, namely: compliance, implementation and use. In the scientific literature of the study of the implementation of European and Euro-Atlantic standards in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other components of the Defense Forces, this topic is currently insufficiently covered. The aim of the article is to find effective approaches to the implementation of European and Euro-Atlantic standards in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other components of the Defense Forces for uniform interpretation and application, approximation to the principles and standards adopted by NATO armies. The armed forces of NATO member-states have adopted so-called standardization agreements (STANAG), which allow joint effective management of forces and means of the armed forces, conduct joint operations and missions, combat training, technical equipment of armies, develop the necessary armaments and military equipment. According to available data, there are a total of about 2,000 NATO standards. And there are about 1,200 standardization agreements. According to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, as of last year, Ukraine has implemented 16% of NATO standards. The main problems in this work are the lack of system in the organization of implementation of standards, lack of specialists and insufficient knowledge of English, as well as the difficulty of implementing standards of limited access. Implementation of NATO standards involves a set of measures, including the decision to apply in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other components of the Defense Forces provisions (norms, requirements) of the NATO standard, development on its basis of legislation or regulations (amendments) and / or additions to the current document), giving it effect in the prescribed manner and its application in daily activities in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other components of the Defense Forces. The value and effectiveness of Euro-Atlantic standards is ensured primarily by their implementation in the national legislation of Ukraine. The analysis showed that the dominant approach to NATO standardization is the development of the capabilities of troops (forces), which is realized by building (improving) the necessary basic components of the DOTMLPFI system, which is actively used in the armies of NATO member-states. Thus, studies show that the implementation in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other components of the defense forces of the principles and standards adopted in the armies of NATO member states provides a systematic increase in the combat capability of troops (forces) leading countries of the world, contributes to improving the efficiency of state resources in the field of defense and military construction. It is advisable to focus further work on substantiating more effective approaches to the use in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other components of defense forces of foreign best practices and principles and standards of the armies NATO member-states, which will promote their development and functioning.
