Ekonomiczne problemy obronności państwa. Cz. 2

After passing the resolution on 16 February 1995 by the Polish Parliament concerning the basic problems of the state defence, the Council of Ministers adopted assumptions (9 September 1997) for the armed forces modernisation programme in 1998-2012 (Army 2012 Programme). Currently Poland realises the „Partnership for Peace’ Programme and we are on the stage of ratification of our admission to NATO structures. This compels the need to adapt our economic - defence potential, the armed forces including, to European standards of democratic states members of NATO. The „Army 2012 Programme” stipulates for realisation of two main tasks: ensuring our forces interoperability and compatibility with NATO forces, adapting our air and sea ports to NATO standards. This programme provides the realisation of 11 detailed programmes, the aim of which will be to modernise the systems of reconnaissance, radio electronic warfare, communication and command, air force and anti tank defence. Rational shaping of the state defence effort to build and develop an effectively functioning coalition and national defence system (SOP) requires, among others a detailed knowledge of all economic - defence state issues. It can be achieved by constant watching, analysing and forecasting dynamic changes of economic factors in defence economy.
