NEW TRENDS IN THE SECURITY OF MILITARY FACILITIES: FOREIGN EXPERIENCE IN THE INTEGRATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, DRONES, AND ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

This article analyzes the military power indicators of the world’s leading states—such as the United States, Russia, China, and others—based on the Global Firepower Index, and examines strategies for guarding military units, as well as the application of advanced technologies, artificial intelligence, and unmanned aerial vehicles. The paper discusses modern paradigms of military facility protection, integration among different branches of the armed forces, and mechanisms for responding to global security threats. In addition, the role of unmanned aerial vehicles and electronic warfare systems is emphasized using the example of the war in Ukraine. As a result, practical recommendations for improving national defense systems are proposed, and a theoretical and practical foundation is formed for innovative approaches to the protection of military units in the current geopolitical environment.
