Resume

Ukraine’s military-industrial complex has suffered serious losses, but recently programs have been implemented to revive its innovative capacity and the results of accelerated production of modern weapons and unique automated systems are becoming visible. The work of many Ukrainian public and private companies in the field of defense tech, which develop innovative solutions for combat operations, is intensifying. According to all projections, defense technology will become one of the main and most profitable industries and high-tech businesses in Ukraine, specializing in the development and production of high-tech products and solutions for the needs of the armed forces and the defense industry. To achieve this strategic goal, it is necessary to form a multi-level innovation ecosystem with appropriate institutional mechanisms for realizing the interests of key participants (actors) in the interactive innovation process. The article aims to characterize the state of development of the technological component of the defense industry of Ukraine, develop a conceptual model of the innovation ecosystem, and determine the directions of its functioning for the purpose of ensuring military victory and further development of the national economy and security. The article actualizes the issue of the importance of the military-industrial complex in Ukraine’s economy and national security both during the war period and in the period of post-war reconstruction. The author analyzes the innovation and technological development of the defense industry and identifies the factors that have a systemic impact on this process. The article substantiates the need to apply the conceptual foundations of innovation ecosystems to form a modern model of development of the defense industry of Ukraine in the direction of increasing its technological level and identifies and characterizes the key participants in the innovation ecosystem that are directly related to the defense tech sector today. Proposals for the application of real institutional mechanisms for solving the priority tasks of forming an innovative defense industry ecosystem are developed.
