Portfolio management is an integral component of project activity and includes a set of inter-related organizational processes and methods that allow to manage projects, project programs and other activities aimed at realizing the goals of defense programs in the most effective way. Portfolio management provides a consistent approach to the management of portfolio components. Portfolio management is a continuous decision-making process whereby the list of portfolio compo-nents is subject to periodic review to align with defense program objectives. Portfolio components can be changed, accelerated, delayed or discontinued.In first section special attention is paid to the developed theory and practice of project man-agement in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The theoretical and methodological foundations of program and project management and project activities in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which evolve the national theory of military development and are the basis for improving the scientific and methodological apparatus for evaluating the effectiveness of creating new, developing and maintaining existing capabilities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, are studied.The second section substantiates the application of a comprehensive portfolio management ap-proach in the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other components of the defense forces, which combines strategic, systemic, project and process-oriented approaches, as well as risk management and focus on results and portfolio management implementation meth-ods and tools. In order to develop effective recommendations for the implementation of portfolio management in military administration, the factors that can complicate this process are outlined such as systematic underfunding of the defense sector, shortage of qualified personnel, lack of modern information systems, corruption, post-Soviet corporate culture.In third section the object of research is marine robotic systems. The results of analytical research on the development of marine robotic systems, primarily marine unmanned systems, are highlighted, which made it possible to identify trends and directions for their further development, as well as to identify the peculiarities of managing their creation and development.The fourth section is dedicated to project management in the military sector, using the exam-ple of a virtual project for the training of military officer-navigators. In the context of modern mili-tary conflicts, where the demands on the training of military specialists have increased significantly, the introduction of advanced technologies is a key factor for ensuring effective training.This project utilizes simulation platforms, providing realistic training for officers in a virtual environment. These platforms allow for exercises in scenarios that closely replicate real combat conditions. The chapter examines key aspects of project management, such as planning, resource management, risk management, and the integration of virtual technologies into the training pro-cess. Additionally, the effectiveness of the project is evaluated, and its development prospects are outlined. This experience represents a valuable example of an innovative approach to military training in Ukraine, which may also be beneficial to other countries facing similar challenges
