The role and place of geospatial support in ensuring the resilience of the state border protection system under hybrid threats

Abstract

 The role and place of geospatial support in ensuring the resilience of the state border protection system of Ukraine under modern hybrid threats are substantiated. It is established that the dynamic security environment and the nature of non-conventional influences necessitate the transformation of traditional approaches to spatial support and their integration with geoinformation technologies.
It is determined that the resilience of the state border protection system largely depends on the quality, relevance, and accuracy of geospatial data, which form the basis for managerial and operational decision-making within the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. The specifics of hybrid threats are examined, in which the geospatial factor plays a key role in ensuring situational awareness, forecasting adversary actions, and enabling timely response of border protection units.
Particular attention is paid to the processes of digitalization of geospatial support, including the implementation of digital terrain models and the use of geographic information systems for analyzing potential directions of state border violations. The scientific novelty of the study lies in clarifying the content and tasks of geospatial support under hybrid threats, while its practical significance is determined by the possibility of applying the obtained results to improve the regulatory framework of operational and service activities of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.
