Financial and economic aspects of planning the development of weapons and military equipment, taking into account the cost of providing the entire life cycle of weapons and military equipment

In the article discusses approaches to the formation of the methodological apparatus for estimating the cost of the life cycle of weapons and military equipment. Attention is drawn to the fact that the formation of this apparatus is not a one-time act, but a complex and long process in which all stages of the life cycle should be covered. The nomenclature and hierarchical structure of cost indicators are proposed, factors that influence the objective non-stationarity in time of these indicators and, accordingly, the accuracy of planning of financial resources needs are analyzed. The expediency of creating an information analytical system for monitoring prices for high-tech defense industry products is substantiated.
