Abstract

In a previous publication, the authors outlined the strategic requirements for the concept of Ukraine’s weapons ecosystem, including its vision, mission, the conceptual role of the architect, aspects of strategic planning and potential implementation strategies. It was demonstrated that the architecture of Ukraine’s weapons system should comply with these requirements in a general methodological sense.

This article further details the key components of the future weapons ecosystem, focusing on its primary elements, the critical roles and the values they generate.
