Using and developing advanced information technologies are significant in the peacekeeping field service, as it could positively affect on mission implementation, decision-making, and even save lives. The purpose of the research is to analyze progressive field mission information technologies used in peace and security operations. Methods: the study is based on the use of empirical scientific methods of observation and study, based on the experience of personal participation in a UN peacekeeping mission, as well as general scientific methods, methods of OSINT analysis, etc. The tasks of the study are to analyze and summarize the main advanced technological solutions implemented in the activities of UN field peacekeeping missions in the area of C4ISR (the concept of command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance). Results of the research indicate that peacekeeping missions differ from combat missions in the way they are conducted. The principle of protection, communication and reconnaissance is not the same; the integrated use of a variety of technologies has created a state-of-the-art information management system for UN peacekeeping operations. Conclusions: this study contributes to the peacekeeping field, information technologies sphere, by providing valuable information based on the personal practical experience, thereby aiding researchers and practitioners in selecting the most suitable tools for of command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance during peacekeeping mission. The information in the paper may be used to guide the planning and organization of communication and informatization systems in operations and missions of both as for multinational and as for homogeneous force units.
