The continuation of warfare in the territory of the country causes many economic, environmental and social problems. That is why it is important to study the influence of critical risks on the mechanism of managing defence resources, which the state’s ability to withstand in difficult times and to ensure the protection of state borders depends on. The main purpose of the paper is the evaluation of scientific and practical principles of determination and analysis of critical risks in the defence industry. Subject to the foregoing, the paper investigates the main scientists’ approaches to the definition and classification of critical risks, which affect the mechanism of defence resource management. It also provides a multiple-factor analysis of critical risks, which affect the mechanism of defence resource management. An effective system for managing critical risks that affect the mechanism of defence resource management was developed in the work. It gives recommendations aimed at reducing the degree of influence of critical risks on the mechanism of defence resource management. The study uses general and special methods of scientific research, in particular, the method of scientific abstraction to timely find and use in practice the indicators of evaluation of critical risks and effective methods of their reduction; the methods of comparative and structural factor analysis to evaluate the indicators under study; the method of logical generalization to provide directions and recommendations for reducing the influence of critical risks on the defence resource management system. The paper is the first to comprehensively analyze the influence of critical risks on the mechanism of defence resource management. The authors highlighted the concepts of responding to critical risks that influence the mechanism. The practical importance of the paper is that the introduction of an effective critical risk management system will allow improving the efficiency of this mechanism.
