Armaments - Reorganization and Reform
In 2007-2012, measures were taken for a radical reform of the state's military organization - the transition to a new image of the Armed Forces, under which significant organizational and functional changes undergone and the system of technical support the Armed Forces and as a result, the system orders of weapons and military equipment (AMSE). The main content of the economic transformation of the system of orders was the gradual reduction of costs for the establishment of AMSE models and their simultaneous increase in procurement samples serially manufactured industry.
Within the framework of the measures in 2008, the Office of Chief of Russian Armed Forces reshaped the General Directorate of Arms of the Armed Forces, entrusted with the task of coordination and control of logistics, planning, organization development and production orders for weapons and military equipment, coordination of operation, maintenance and disposal of weapons and military equipment.
In December 2010, in order to optimize the organizational structure of military units and organizations planning arms, the General Directorate of Arms the Armed Forces was transformed into the Department of Defense of the Russian Federation of Weapons with the content in the state posts of federal state civil employees of the Russian Defense Ministry.
In May 2013 the Department of Defense of the Russian Federation of weapons transferred to the new staff with content in it as a military post, and the posts of federal state civil employees of the Russian Defense Ministry. Department subordinate to the Deputy Minister of Defence of the Russian Federation in charge of the military-technical support of troops.
The country's leadership and the Ministry of Defense is working to improve the technical equipment of the Armed Forces, which has already implemented a number of measures aimed at the positive development of cooperation between all entities of the system. The most important are the following measures.
Adapted to modern economic conditions the legal regulation of interaction of the subjects of the technical equipment of the Armed Forces, which is based on the Federal Law # 275 "On the State Defense Order" and the Federal Law # 44 "On the contract system in the area of procurement of goods, works and services for state and municipal needs."
As part of the Military-Industrial Commission under the Government of the Russian Federation set up specialized units for creating a new technical basis for the armed forces and of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, to enhance the interaction between governments Russian Defense Ministry and defense industry, and the establishment of the Foundation for Advanced Studies, contributing to the intensification of research and development associated with a high degree of risk to achieve a qualitatively new results in the military-technical, technological and socio-economic spheres.
An increased role of the defense industry in the formation of the state program of armaments was in accordance with the new rules on the formation of SAP 2016-2025 years, the inclusion of the work on the creation of promising AMSE models is carried out only after the necessary material science, technology, production and other research. This provides contracting for the full life cycle, which stimulates the defense companies to improve the quality of samples produced in order to reduce the potential costs of the subsequent stages of the life cycle.
Pilot projects are carried out to establish a system for managing the total life cycle of AMSE and adjusted system repair and maintenance of equipment. From 2013 to the Ministry of Defense restored troop repair units that will carry out maintenance and repair of weapons and military equipment in the army, while the medium and overhaul AMSE will conduct the enterprise industry.
This intensified the process of transition to the conclusion of government defense contracts with the integrated structures, rather than individual defense enterprises, which increases consistency in the functioning of these structures.
It also restored the status and number of military missions of the Ministry of Defense [MO], provides a link between the role of orders AMSE and defense companies. The efficiency of the planning the State Defense Order [SDO], including by switching from annual to long-term contracts that, in turn, allows the defense companies to improve the quality of the internal (manufacturing) planning - a key tool to improve their efficiency.
It should be noted that the measures had a positive impact on the state of Russian Armed Forces, and the state organizations DIC, which indicates the correctness implemented today areas of cooperation MoD and defense industry, providing a systematic and mutually beneficial joint activities for the development of defense enterprises in the interests of high-quality implementation of the state program weapons. In fact, it is a transition to the active interaction model, involving more attention to the development of state customers of scientific, technical, and industrial and technological base of creation of modern high-tech products AMSE.
Eligibility for implementation of this model is due to the fact that in recent years, the defense industry funding from the federal budget has been steadily growing as a line of work envisaged by the state program of armaments, and through other government programs implemented in SAP software.
The bulk of the budget was allocated for defense companies through a competitive contract-allocation mechanism of defense orders. In turn, for the defense companies there is a kind of mechanism of stability in difficult market conditions, which with the right marketing planning can become the basis for building the scientific, technological and industrial-technological potential - the basics of how modern high-performance models AMSE and competitive civil hi-tech products.
That is the economic basis of mutually beneficial cooperation between the main actors of the technical equipment of the Armed Forces, essentially having different goals operation: ordering system is focused on creating high-quality and low-cost designs AMSE and defense companies are interested in increasing profitability.
The competence of the department is addressing issues related to the organization and coordination of the activities of the military administration in planning and implementing SAP, jobs in SDO of the R & D, procurement, repair, recycling and elimination of AMSE, including the provision of activities of international disarmament treaties.
