Type: article
Abstract: In recent years, international technology transfer has been complemented by the export of weapons production technologies and the formation of international consortia that have used these technologies to launch licensed production of foreign weapons and military equipment in developing countries. Mechanisms for coordinating the activities of countries in the production and purchase of weapons and military equipment have emerged. This has strengthened and increased the sustainability of international flows of military goods and services. The transfer of weapons and military equipment production technologies and foreign experience in managing military production to foreign countries has also accelerated. International production and sales structures have emerged. For Ukraine, international technology transfer is one of the vectors of innovative development of the national economy, which is why there is an active scientific and practical interest in studying the theoretical foundations and practical aspects of international technology transfer, its features and development trends, in particular in the military-technical sphere. The development of international scientific and production cooperation in the field of military products leads to the further expansion of military-economic preparations beyond national borders, as a result of which the share of the national military industry is increasingly determined by the level of development of foreign economic relations. A powerful market for military-technical products (MTP) has formed, including weapons; military equipment and property, military and dual-purpose technologies, and military-technical services. At the same time, military spending contributes to an increase in the rate of accumulation, technological development of the economy, reduction of unemployment, and economic growth.
