Technological independence of defense-industrial complex enterprises: a diagnostic model and typology of strategic profiles
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: In the context of global technological competition and sanctions pressure, Russia's technological sovereignty becomes an imperative of national security, with the defense-industrial complex (DIC) as its key driver. However, existing methodologies for assessing the state of the DIC suffer from methodological limitations: they operate with aggregated industry data, ignore the internal heterogeneity of entities, and fail to integrate quantitative and qualitative aspects. The aim of the study is to develop and test a comprehensive diagnostic approach that overcomes these limitations. The approach is based on an original three-level analysis model (micro-, meso-, macro-level), a classification of management determinants, and a diagnostic matrix of technological profiles. Testing on materials from aircraft and machine-building clusters revealed structural imbalances, such as the gap between assembly localization and production cycle depth. The key result is a typology of profiles ("full cycle", "structural dependence", "critical import dependence"), demonstrating a direct correlation between the level of localization and the dominant complex of management determinants. The obtained conclusions form the basis for targeted strategizing, showing that enhancing technological independence requires not just investment, but a purposeful shift in the balance of these determinants for each profile.
