Improving monitoring of the implementation of state defense orders in modern conditions

   Relevance. Today, the State defense Order is the main instrument for the formation and maintenance of the state's defense capability. The quality and continuity of its implementation in the complicated geopolitical situation in the world ensures timely supplies of equipment and weapons for the Russian troops. Its operational monitoring and timely adjustment is a priority task for the management corps of the Russian Ministry of Defense. The implementation of the state defense order should be carried out as a matter of priority based on the available production and technological capabilities of the executing enterprises.

   Purpose. The main purpose of this study is to assess the mechanism of implementation of the state defense order in modern conditions and identify potential risks of supply disruptions and deadlines for its implementation.

   Objectives: to describe the main conditions for the emergence and functioning of operational monitoring of the fulfillment of state defense orders by enterprises, interdepartmental communications in the process of implementing measures; to characterize the state of fulfillment by organizations of the military-industrial complex of contractual obligations; to classify the risks of non-fulfillment of the order; to develop recommendations for risk reduction.

   Methodology. The work used general scientific methods of analysis and processing of operational data, methods of systematization and comparison, methods of visualization and evaluation of future events.

   Results. The national security of the state is impossible without maintaining an adequate level of defense capability in an increasingly complex political and military conflict environment. Russia, as the country with the longest state border, must ensure the protection of its perimeter with the latest models of military equipment and weapons. Therefore, operational monitoring and assessment of the potential of the military-industrial complex enterprise will allow not only to implement the state defense order, but also to fulfill plans to avoid supply disruptions.

   Conclusions. The security of the state is a priority strategic task of the country's leadership. Modern requirements for arming troops dictate the need for technological modernization and the production of sufficient military equipment for the purpose of protecting the country. The State Defense Order is the basic tool for implementing these tasks.
