AB  - Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to introduce cybernetic systems in defence management applications, to meet new challenges of the information society and use of system modelling for decision making.Design/methodology/approach– The paper defines basic terms for understanding the complexity of the defence management applications, which is simplified using input‐output modelling.Findings– The paper illustrates the interdisciplinary nature of cybernetics, systems and management sciences. The defence system is analysed and a general input‐output model for defence system development recommended.Research limitations/implications– New data technology and data availability provide perspective for applied research using scientific approach.Practical implications– Cybernetic systems for defence provide analytical modelling for management applications.Originality/value– The paper presents a concept and empirical evidence for defence system analysis and a new way of thinking that affects defence planning and defence management. A cybernetic, systemic and input‐output methodology provides solutions for defence management applications.
