Programme targeted method : Planned Interrelation of measures of S&T progress by of •research- production- appllcatlon"cycle Is done programme-target methods of planning. stages through The use of these methods has found Its practical appl !cation In S&T programmes which represent by themselves a complex of scientific-technological. production and other measures coordinated by resources, executors and time factor Planned In the framework of "research-production-application" cycle. S&T programmes make It possible not only to combine alI the measures necessary to obtain and real lze a ~clentlflc result but also to concentrate the resources on principal directions of S&T progress. ~1 At present depending on fl~al objectives, target-complex S&T programmes; and programmes aimed at solution of Important S&T prob I ems are beIng e I aborated and real I zed. The target-complex S&T programmes are elaborated for Intro­ duction of the most significant scientific and technological achievements whose uti I lzatlon would ensure In the near future a considerable Increase of efficiency of social production and quality of product. Programmes aimed at solution of Important S&T problems are elaborated to ensure further development of R&D activities In the most perspective directions of science and technology In order to create a scientific "stock" as well as.to solve separate problems related to creation of completely new technology and bringing It 
**Analysis**
