Organizational Aspects of the Use Artificial Intelligence in the Field of Defense

In the context of digital transformation, AI is becoming a key factor in increasing combat effectiveness and ensuring the sustainable development of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The article is devoted to the analysis of organizational aspects of the use of artificial intelligence in the field of defense of the Russian Federation, n the context of the need to find new ways to strengthen national security and defense capability.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the current problems of introducing artificial intelligence into the organizational processes of Russia’s defense activities and propose practical ways to solve them.

Methods. The research used methods of system analysis, comparative analysis, and a structural and functional approach, which made it possible to study the features of the integration of artificial intelligence into the organizational and managerial processes of the Russian Armed Forces. The choice of research methods is based on their complementary capabilities and allows for a comprehensive understanding of the processes of integrating artificial intelligence into the defense sector.

The problem. The paper identifies key problems in the implementation of artificial intelligence in the defense sector: technological (limitations of artificial intelligence, integration into existing systems); resource-related (financial and infrastructural inadequacies); human resources (shortage of specialists); institutional (regulatory, legal, and ethical issues); organizational (lack of interagency coordination).

Results. The author proposes specific organizational and operational measures aimed at overcoming these obstacles and effectively integrating new technologies. For the first time, the article comprehensively examines the organizational and management issues of integrating artificial intelligence in the context of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, taking into account modern challenges and national characteristics It identifies current problems in the implementation of artificial intelligence in defense management processes, such as technological, personnel, and regulatory barriers.

Conclusions. For the effective implementation of artificial intelligence in the field of defense, it is necessary to solve the identified management problems by developing an appropriate regulatory framework, improving the personnel training system, strengthening interdepartmental cooperation, and adapting existing management practices to new technological realities. In addition, the need for the implementation of pilot projects and step-by-step adaptation of management practices has been identified, subject to constant monitoring and evaluation of the effectiveness of the measures applied.
