The process of managing a higher institution in determining the number of postgraduates who are planned for admission is the object of this study. The problem that was addressed is the inability to reasonably predict the need for the number of postgraduates to offset the negative consequences of staff turnover in a higher education institution. An improved method of forecasting the trend of the time series of indicators that form the need for specialists of higher qualification has been proposed. Special feature of the proposed method is the ability to reasonably determine the number of full-time positions of higher qualification specialists; those dismissed; postgraduates who successfully defended their thesis over a certain period. Due to this feature of this method, it is possible to form reasonable initial data for predicting the negative consequences of staff turnover in a higher education institution. The scope of practical use of this method for determining the projected indicators is the stage of planning the educational process in a higher education institution. A comprehensive methodology for determining the number of postgraduates who are planned for admission to postgraduate studies in specialties is proposed. Applying the suggested procedure can make it possible to obtain the projected data with sufficient accuracy and prevent excessive recruitment, or under-recruitment of postgraduates, which will affect the expenditure of finances and the quality of higher education organization. The projected inaccuracy of the existing approach to determining the number of postgraduates compared to the proposed one is about 35 %. The peculiarity of the methodology is the ability to justify the number of postgraduates that need to be recruited to graduate school, taking into consideration regional and sectoral contexts. Additionally, a special feature of this procedure is its versatility for any specialty and any institution of higher education. The scope and conditions for the practical use of this set of techniques for determining the projected indicators is the process of managing a higher education institution when determining the need for postgraduates

According to the analysis of trends in the use and development of missile weapons, it is shown that in the coming decades such weapons (missile, anti-aircraft missile, anti-ship systems) will remain one of the main units of the armed forces of the advanced  countries. At the same time, in the conditions of independent Ukraine there is a need to create its own production of appropriate  samples in a “closed cycle”. The synthesis of such weapons includes conducting comprehensive research on the principles of construction and operation of their basic elements, namely: substantiation of algorithms for launch equipment, control systems and navigation of missiles. The article deals with an example of a general solution to the problem.

The approach proposed in the article allowed the authors to conduct a comprehensive study of the hydrodynamic working process of the brake of the retractable parts with simultaneous observation of changes in the dynamic and kinematic characteristics of the center of mass of the retractable parts. In this case, the need to solve the forward and reverse problems of the run is eliminated. Based on the method of small deviations, the authors proposed a theoretical approach to substantiate the maximum allowable deviations of the brake characteristics, which allows to form the relationship of the brake process of retractable parts with the stability of the gun, as well as refi ned methods of restoring language of stability of the gun with the specifi ed characteristic.
