Purpose. Study of the existing organization of control operations of contractual relations of the state defense order and development of measures aimed at improving the tools, methods and means of control, taking into account the specifics of public procurement for national defense needs. Methodology. Control in the public procurement system for national security needs should be based on research of existing approaches and methods, rely on existing domestic and foreign experience in successfully identifying and preventing the misuse of public finances. The article examines the methods and tools of interdepartmental control in the public procurement system, taking into account the specifics of procurement for national security needs. Results and conclusions. The possibilities of compliance control in the system of public procurement for the needs of national defense are studied. Measures aimed at improving the organization of control work at enterprises of the military-industrial complex based on compliance control in the system of state defense procurement are proposed. Scope of application: practice of budget planning of military expenditures, contractual relations in the system of State Defense Procurement, risk management.

Subject. The article considers the current problems of cost management in the conditions of economic instability, which telecommunications companies face. The increase in costs caused by the rapid obsolescence of technologies, the development of digitalization, lead to the need for constant updating of the infrastructure of this area and an increase in prices for the services provided. Purpose. Study of the unique challenges inherent in the telecommunications sector, such as complex infrastructure, high competition and the need to create an ecosystem for developing optimal solutions in conditions of risk. Methodology. The article uses the methodology of a systems approach, strategic management, strategic controlling, allowing to estimate and distribute costs into effective and ineffective, which is a key aspect for increasing the profitability and competitiveness of companies. Results and conclusions. Research emphasizes the importance of developing cost optimization strategies to improve the overall performance of telecommunications enterprises. Scope of application: practice of organizing the effective operation of the telecommunications industry, the communication services market.

Subject. The relevance of this topic stems from the need to summarize and structure current understandings of artificial intelligence. There is currently enormous public interest in this phenomenon. Some researchers consider it one of the most significant achievements of scientific and technological progress in the 21st century, highlighting areas, spheres, and industries where it can be used. Others see it as a major threat, including to the labor market and national security. Purpose. To examine scholars' approaches to defining artificial intelligence, from the Middle Ages to the present day, with the goal of substantiating the possibilities and prospects for its large-scale use in public practice. Methodology. The article utilizes systemic and dialectical approaches, analysis, and synthesis, allowing us to evaluate and organize understandings of artificial intelligence as a complex and multifaceted phenomenon. Results and conclusions. It has been revealed that scientific interest in the creation of artificial intelligence is cyclical, but each new wave of attention reflects humanity's desire and need to create and implement a component that would contribute to increased labor productivity, a reduction in routine activities, and a more efficient use of available resources. Therefore, despite the contradictory and ambiguous assessment of artificial intelligence, the process of its application in public life is objective. Scope of application: the practice of organizing the effective use of artificial intelligence in various industries and in the service market.

Subject. Relevance of the topic. In conditions when aggressive sanctions and military actions of NATO countries aim to weaken the economic and political sovereignty of Russia, when conducting a special military operation is an objective necessity, the country's leadership has to simultaneously solve problems such as ensuring stable economic growth, and strengthening the country's military power. In this situation, the development of the military-industrial complex (DIC), which has historically concentrated the country's most advanced technologies, becomes a priority direction of the industrial policy of the Russian Federation. The priority of the development of the defense industry is explained by its proactive role in scientific and technological progress, through the development of information and innovative technologies, including for a number of related industries. Purpose. A study of the current state of the defense industry, the level of its state support to determine the possibilities of using technologies created in this area in the civilian sector of the economy, ultimately contributing to the economic development of the country. Methodology. An analysis of actual data was carried out using structuring methods, which makes it possible to identify, detail and systematize the most effective ways of developing defense industry enterprises. Results and conclusions. The article determines that the defense industry is an integral part of the national economic system and national security. The total volume of production at defense industry enterprises is constantly growing, and almost all regions are participating in one way or another in the creation of the necessary weapons. The study established that the practical implementation of the approved state program for the development of the defense industry will contribute to the further improvement of the technologies used, the expansion of arms exports, the optimization of diversification measures related to the creation of high-tech military, civil and dual-use products, and the development of human resources of enterprises and defense industry organizations. Scope of application: practice of ensuring defense capability and national security as part of the development of a state security strategy.

Subject. Studies of the etiology of risks are necessary because they make it possible to predict their occurrence, assess the cumulative impact and eliminate their negative consequences for economic and information security, provide participants in the state defense order (SDO) with an increase in the efficiency of performing state tasks in the conditions of post-COVID, sanctions and other types of crises. Purpose. Study of the nature of the occurrence of logistical risks arising in the process of creating and selling products under the state defense order in order to find ways to eliminate or minimize them. Methodology. An empirical analysis of the theoretical and actual data of the causes of the emergence of logistics risks in the organization of procurement in the state defense order system was carried out, taking into account the specifics of the organization of the logistics flow management system in the era of digital transformation and emerging crises. To test the hypothesis, a risk classification was carried out and an analysis of logistic risks was performed using the logistic function. Results and conclusions. The development of the state defense system in the Russian Federation is associated with the need to control and coordinate the creation of material flows, accompanied by financial and information flows created to ensure defense capability, national security as part of the development of a state security strategy. Application area. The practice of ensuring defense capability, national security as part of the development of a state security strategy.
