The article examines the issues of ensuring the economic security of the state in cooperation with enterprises of the military-industrial complex, substantiates the essence and content of the concept of military-economic security. The authors have proposed a set of indicators on the basis of which it is possible to diagnose the level of military-economic security of a particular state. Among the main ones, one can single out the absolute and relative expenditures on defense, the number of main types of weapons, the size of the production capacities of the enterprises of the military-industrial complex (MIC), the number of personnel employed in the military-industrial complex and in the field of military scientific research. The fundamental basis for ensuring the military and economic security of the state is the high efficiency of the defense industry enterprises. Unfortunately, the opposite trend is observed in the modern Russian economy, most of the defense industry enterprises are economically ineffective, unprofitable, and often unpromising. Their low economic efficiency entails threats and risks for the entire military-industrial complex, and also negatively affects the level of the country's defense as a whole. To overcome modern threats in the defense industry of the Russian Federation, measures are needed to strengthen their technological, information and production potential, such as assistance in promoting high-tech defense products to world arms markets, ensuring financial and economic stability and strengthening the human resources of defense enterprises, strengthening the protection of intellectual property of production and others
