The military equipment and weapons are becoming more and more complex, and the wars themselves are changing from «classic» to «hybrid» with the centre shifting into the information and communication space. Such changes are naturally reflected in the Armed Forces of Ukraine future officers’ professional training system, requiring a rethinking of the natural disciplines’ role.The purpose of the article is to publish the results of the theoretical study on the identification of pedagogical conditions for forming the Armed Forces of Ukraine future officers’ readiness for using STEM-technologies in professional activities, in particular, strengthening of the natural disciplines’ training with the application of STEM-education technologies in the process of training sessions conducting in higher military educational institutions.Methods of research: analysis, synthesis, systematization of scientific and pedagogical manuals, generalization.Results. The study identifies the following directions of strengthening natural disciplines’ training in the process of conducting training with using STEM-technologies: transforming the content of the existing disciplines from the point of view of strengthening the natural sciences’ training; creating the new applied training courses taking into account the integrative method of teaching the material; developing the problematic tasks of military-applied character, the solution of which requires a system of knowledge from different scientific fields; holding a series of seminars with future officers on the general theme of «Applying new information technology to military applications»; organizing and conducting instructor-methodical sessions with scientific-pedagogical staff on acquaintance of all educational process’ participants with STEM-technologies; publishing the results of research on the implementation of STEM-technologies at scientific seminars and conferences; the advisable and prudent STEM-technologies introducing during training at higher military educational institutions.Conclusion. The research proves that the natural disciplines’ training strengthening with the application of STEM-education technologies in the process of training sessions conducting at higher military educational institutions can be defined as a pedagogical condition for successful forming the Armed Forces of Ukraine future officers’ readiness for using STEM-technologies in professional activities.
