Research into the prospects of application of quantum technologies in the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The rapid development of quantum technologies opens up new opportunities for the military sphere, inparticular in the fields of cybersecurity, communications, navigation, intelligence and modelling of complex combatscenarios. The article analyses the current state of research in the field of quantum computing, quantum cryptography,quantum sensors and sensors, as well as their potential application to increase the combat capability of the ArmedForces of Ukraine. The possibilities of using quantum algorithms to solve complex optimization problems that can beuseful in military logistics, military resource management and threat forecasting are considered.Particular attention is paid to the prospects for the implementation of quantum technologies to create securecommunication channels that prevent unauthorized interception of information, as well as for the development of newnavigation systems that do not depend on satellite signals and are capable of operating in electronic warfareconditions. The paper also examines the main challenges facing the introduction of quantum technologies into themilitary sphere, in particular technical, financial and organizational barriers.Based on the analysis, key areas of further research have been identified that will contribute to the effectiveintroduction of quantum technologies into the defense sector of Ukraine. Approaches to creating an innovative strategyfor the development of quantum technologies in the military sphere, which involves both scientific research and thepractical implementation of their results in military information systems, communication systems and intelligencemeans, have been proposed.
