The State Armaments Program
The main practical result of organizational measures and activities of the Office of the Chief of Armaments to introduce new methods of planning the development of weapons systems was the formation of the first state armaments program for 1976-1985 years, to ensure a balanced development of the huge nomenclature of samples, systems and complexes of weapons and military equipment [AME]. Its implementation allowed identifying the bottlenecks in the development of weapons systems, primarily related to duplication and redundancy of nomenclature models.
For the purposes of scientific justification directions unification of IWT interspecific and species levels in December 1977 created 46 CRI, as a head Institute of Defense of arms and military equipment, subordinate to the Deputy Minister of Defence for Armaments. The team of scientists of the new Research Institute, which has been included previously created branch 27 CRI Defense, managed to find practical solutions. The effective implementation of it, of course, could only be implemented from the planning stage of R&D through the entire product lifecycle. Therefore, in the early 1980s were shifted emphasis towards the themes of scientific and methodological support of program-oriented planning of development of weapons.
It should also be noted that by the end of this stage there was completely formed the target-oriented planning of weapons systems, in which the broad cooperation of research organizations of the Defense and defense industry research proves a unit chief weapons almost sold the entire set of measures to create a balanced system of arms, giving forces the opportunity to address the full range of military-strategic objectives.
In 1986, the Office of the Deputy Defense Minister for Armaments was renamed the Office of the Deputy Minister of Defence for Armaments, and with the creation in 1992, the Armed Forces - the Office of the Chief of Armaments of the Armed Forces.
The new phase of the management associated with large-scale political and economic reforms in the country in the early 1990s, when ordering Defense authorities, together with the defense industry of the country experienced a phase of profound reformation, coupled with the reduction of the army and navy.
In these difficult conditions, it was important to maintain the mechanism of centralized planning of weapons systems, and ensure the implementation of long-term programs of technical equipment of the Armed Forces, to restore or replace the broken cooperative relations of defense enterprises, as well as possible to redirect orders to Russian defense companies. During this period, the Armed Forces solve two main tasks: first, to maintain combat readiness of troops by supplying the troops necessary minimum of arms, spare parts and materials; secondly, maintaining the defense industry if not completely, then at least its core business.
The first problem was the fact that in operation the troops (forces) samples of weapons and military equipment required constant maintenance, replacement of individual components or subsystems. However, the supply necessary for the normal functioning of the AME spare parts and materials, order and ensure the regular supply of the troops under disrupt the relationship was extremely difficult.
The second problem was due to a sharp increase in the debt of the state defense enterprises for supplied arms and military equipment, resulting in a financial and economic situation of many of them turned out to be critical.
It is important to note that the only system-stabilizing and management body for the defense companies in this period proved to Office of the Chief of weapons that failed to take all possible organizational and planning measures to preserve the basic structure of the defense industry of the country due to the choice of priorities and financial resources of operational maneuver. In addition, the development and production of major weapons systems transferred from the former Soviet Union to the Russian defense industry. During the same period, the Russian Armed Forces came CNF main work on the creation of a new regulatory framework of functioning of the AME orders.
In accordance with the decision of the Security Council of the Russian Federation dated August 11, 2000, there began a gradual transition to a system of a single customer - the organizational structures involved in the planning and overall coordination of the development of IWT in terms of general-purpose funds on the scale of all kinds and types of troops Sun, military units of power ministries and departments of the Russian Federation.
Pursuant to the decisions taken in late 2004, measures were taken to radically change the structure of orders, the essence of which was to create a single customer the Russian Defense Ministry weapons and military hardware - the system of orders and deliveries of weapons and military equipment, which ensures the principle of unity of command.
The fundamental difference from the pre-existing structure lay in the fact that the organization was able to unite all the general MoD customers in a single structure. For the first time were divided tasks and priorities of the operational command and control and management of the development of weapons systems.
The system of orders was removed from command of the scope of the general troops and was centralized. The end result of this process was the creation of conditions for the transition to a unified system of technical support of the Armed Forces. Thus, a key principle of the formation of the new structure was the creation of ordering not based on the departmental affiliation and rational classification of facial features weapons, military and special equipment (AMSE).
In 2004-2007, a set of measures was carried out to further improve the system in the Russian Defense Ministry orders and deliveries AMSE, formed bodies of the planning and organization of orders and deliveries AMSE in order to optimize the structure of ordering and centralized management processes of their development and production.
