PROBLEMS OF DETERMINATION AND INTRODUCTION OF CRITICAL TECHNOLOGIES IN THE SPHERE OF WEAPONS PRODUCTION

Results of analysis of causes of improper state of investigations for determination and creation of critical technologies are presented. Timeliness of the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine (CMU) for intensification of scientific fundamental and applied investigations in this sphere is emphasized. It is stated that financing of research in accordance with the adopted decision within the frames of a state defense order will be helpful for improvement of the situation, especially at early research phases with high level of uncertainty. We analyzed risks on the path to realization of the CMU decision. Absence of guaranteed amount of annual budget funds, transparent procedure of determination of critical technologies, distribution of state subventions and monitoring of efficiency of budget costs usage are among those risks. Top-priority measures are proposed. Realization of those measures will be helpful for successful solution of this problem.
