The article provides an express analysis of the results of research by domestic scientists and experts on the organization and management of military communications in the pre-war period and during the Great Patriotic War, which have a number of common features with the modern military-political situation. It was revealed that the subject of the research was personnel training, the technical component of the problem, different types of military communications; historical experience and development prospects, protection of military communications in difficult conditions, involvement of civilian specialists in solving military communications problems, management efficiency as the most important condition for victory in an armed confrontation. Attention is focused on the development of modern technologies in the field of communications in NATO countries and their use in the war with Russia. A tendency is determined to transition from «direct-flow communications» to network-centric operations that ensure the exchange of information by all types of communications, the basis of which is the use of mobile wireless communications, and then to mobile peer-to-peer MANET networks with military application G5 with virtualization of network elements. An increase in the attention of foreign scientists and experts to the management of military communications with the beginning of the special military operation in Ukraine is noted. It is noted that war stimulates the development of various modern communication technologies, the use of artificial intelligence, which contribute to increasing the level of troop control. The aim of the project is to generalize domestic military-historical experience, modern foreign experience and their possible use in developing issues of organizing state and military management, military communications in modern operations using new means of armed struggle, in the practice of training troops and theaters of military operations in relation to communications. The main task is to identify the main trends in its development and determine the role and significance of military communications in ensuring the state security of Russia within the framework of a comparative analysis of the historical and modern experience of using military communications by enemy troops. The research is based on comparative methods, which allows us to carry out the necessary qualitative analysis and identify the main trends of modern development in the field of military communications and formulate a theoretical generalization.
