Abstract

The article’s relevance is justified by the need to study the current state of organizational and legal upport for the use of space information and technology in Ukraine’s military activities to identify prospects for its improvement, including through the adaptation of NATO experience. The implementation of scientific research is ensured by the combined use of methodological tools, among which the leading role was played by general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction, which provided an opportunity to identify general and specific features of the research. The main methods were forecasting and legal modeling, which helped to identify trends in the development of organizational and legal support for the use of space information and technology in the military activities of Ukraine. The study revealed that Ukraine has significant prospects for developing an organizational and legal framework for using space information and technology in military activities. It is crucial to support and adapt the experience of the troops (forces) of the Armed Forces of NATO member states, which for decades have demonstrated a systematic, balanced and clear approach to the tasks of the supranational level of security. A number of optimization vectors for developing organizational and legal support for using space information and technology in the military activities of Ukraine at both regulatory and institutional levels are proposed.
