The paper presents a comprehensive theoretical study of the problem of managing the resilience of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) under conditions of wartime uncertainty. The relevance of the research lies in the need to expand the conceptual foundations for the formation of enterprise resilience in a highly turbulent external environment characterized by multidimensional risks, their interdependence, and continuous dynamics. Based on the analysis of theoretical approaches to the interpretation of SME resilience and the assessment of current conditions of their functioning, the limitations of traditional approaches focused on adaptation or recovery from isolated shocks are substantiated. It is demonstrated that under conditions of wartime uncertainty, resilience should be interpreted as a dynamic systemic property formed through the continuous reconfiguration of the business system. The methodological framework of the study includes methods of theoretical generalization, comparative analysis, and structural-logical modeling, which enabled the development of the conceptual basis of the research. The empirical foundation is represented by analytical and statistical data from international organizations reflecting the specific features of SME functioning in wartime conditions. The main result of the study is the development of an integrated model of SME resilience management based on the formation of an integrated resilience core as a result of the dynamic interaction of resource potential, digital technologies, and artificial intelligence tools. The proposed approach makes it possible to move from managing individual factors to managing systemic interconnections that determine the ability of enterprises to function under conditions of high uncertainty.The results of the study can be applied in the development of resilience management strategies for SMEs, focused on the integration of digital technologies and artificial intelligence tools into a unified management system.
