A Systemic Approach to the Scientific and Technical Support of the Operation of Military Information Systems
Abstract
Purpose. Systematization of problem areas in scientific and technical support for operating military information systems and justification of approaches to creating an effective support system considering strategic and operational management levels.
Method. The method of system analysis, generalization of national and international (NATO) experience in information systems support, as well as structural and functional modeling of operation and support processes were applied. Information, functional, and conceptual models were defined.
Findings. The main support tasks have been identified, a two-level support organization model (strategic and operational levels) has been proposed, the general structure of the information support model has been developed, and priority directions for improving the regulatory framework and implementing an automated information system for operation support have been defined.
Theoretical implications. The article systematizes approaches to modeling support processes of information systems in the military domain, summarizes modern theoretical approaches to assessing the effectiveness and cost of support, and complements the methodology of information systems life cycle management.
Practical implications. The results can be used for the development of automated support systems for military information systems, improvement of the regulatory framework in the field of information systems operation, and enhancement of the efficiency of implementing technical equipment programs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Value. The study is one of the first in Ukraine to offer an integrated approach to scientific and technical support for the operation of information systems, combining strategic and operational levels, modern approaches to cost management, risk management, and digital monitoring.
Papertype. Theoretical.
