Abstract

The capability assessment process plays a key role in ensuring the effectiveness and readiness of the armed forces to meet national defense objectives. The conditions for the development of the Armed Forces (AF) of Ukraine currently require improvement of the defense planning system, which would allow for effective adaptation to changes in the geopolitical environment. This will improve the efficiency and readiness of the armed forces for modern challenges. As a result, there is a need to objectively compare the level of capabilities acquired by scientific units with the capabilities established in the Unified list (Catalog) of capabilities of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and other components of the defense forces. The object of the study is the process of assessing the capabilities of scientific divisions of scientific institutions. The task that was solved is the objectivity of assessment and development of the capabilities of scientific units. Since the capabilities of scientific units are multi-criteria, it is advisable to combine their requirements into functional modules. For each carrier of capabilities, a set of modules is determined by functional directions in accordance with the assigned tasks. The method of assessing the capabilities of scientific units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been improved, quantitative assessments of deficiencies in the capabilities of scientific units and recommendations for their elimination have been obtained in accordance with the DOTMLPFI (Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership, Personal, Facilities, and Interoperability) methodology. Based on the results of the evaluation, 30 recommendations were formed when defining 10 scenarios. The scope of application of the method is the implementation of scientific and scientific-technical activities, capacity building of scientific divisions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The method is the basis for the creation of an automated capability assessment system – an element of the automated system of military management bodies
