Abstract

The solution of problematic issues of substantiating decisions by improving the mechanism and technology for determining the target function in the system of ensuring the military security of the state is proposed. An integral indicator of the degree of realization of national interests in the field of military security – the level of military security is adopted under the target function.

In order to increase the efficiency of the functioning of the system of ensuring the military security of the state, it is proposed to create an effective mechanism for assessing the decisions made. The improved decision-making mechanism involves comparing the values of the obtained value of the level of military security with its permissible (potential) level, which should be adequate to the current situation, the resource capabilities of the state and the level of danger of existing threats. The improved mechanism will also facilitate effective organization of the planning processes for the use of defense forces in emergency situations.

To determine the level of military security, the article substantiates a system of indicators. The above indicators to the greatest extent characterize the degree of realization of national interests in various spheres of military security, taking into account the interrelationships between them. The value of these indicators is determined on the basis of available statistical data, and in their absence – by an expert survey. The implementation of the proposed mechanism for substantiating state decisions in the military security system allows the use of multidimensional comparative qualitative and quantitative measurements. On the basis of these measurements, it becomes possible, practically on a time scale as close to real as possible, to determine priority measures to increase the efficiency of decisions and the level of military security of the state as a whole. The application of the improved mechanism is proposed both at the decision-making stage and after the implementation of decisions by the military security system.

In the following, the conditions, features of the application of the proposed methodology and the prospects for its adaptation for solving problems of control of defense forces during their application are given
