By generalizing Bogolyubovs reduced description method, we suggest a formalism to derive kinetic equations for many-body dissipative systems in external stochastic field. As a starting point, we use a stochastic Liouville equation obtained from Hamiltons equations taking dissipation and stochastic perturbations into account. The Liouville equation is then averaged over realizations of the stochastic field by an extension of the Furutsu-Novikov formula to the case of a non-Gaussian field. As the result, a generalization of the classical Bogolyubov-Born-Green-Kirkwood-Yvon (BBGKY) hierarchy is derived. In order to get a kinetic equation for the one-particle distribution function, we use a regular cut off procedure of the BBGKY hierarchy by assuming weak interaction between the particles and weak intensity of the field. Within this approximation we get the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation for the system in a non-Gaussian stochastic field. Two particular cases by assuming either Gaussian statistics of external perturbation or homogeneity of the system are discussed.
