The Ministry of Defense has launched a drone rating: how the military evaluates UAVs.

A new rating system for drones on the DOT-Chain Defence marketplace

On the DOT-Chain Defence weapon marketplace, a new rating system has been implemented, allowing military personnel to leave ratings and reviews of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) used during combat operations. This initiative, realized at the request of the military, aims to significantly improve the selection of drones for units. The information was provided by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, reports 'Glavkom'.Now, decisions on purchasing drones will be based not only on technical characteristics but also on the real combat experience of colleagues.

Each authorized user can rate on a five-point scale (from 1 - unsatisfactory to 5 - excellent) and leave a detailed review of the advantages and disadvantages of drones, the specifics of their use in field conditions, assembly quality, resistance to interference, and ease of use.

Currently, ratings and reviews are only available to the military, but in the future, this opportunity will also be available to manufacturers, allowing them to communicate directly with consumers and respond quickly to soldiers' comments.

New feature in the 'Army+' mobile application

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is preparing to implement a new feature in the 'Army+' mobile application. Soon, military personnel will be able to submit an electronic report for a change of service location between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the National Guard of Ukraine.

'There are many skilled specialists in the Ukrainian army. The new feature will provide more opportunities to apply their skills appropriately, and commanders will be able to engage military and civilian expertise to enhance their units with new knowledge,' explained Deputy Minister of Defense for Digital Development Oksana Ferchuk.

This new functionality will appear in 'Army+' soon – after the official publication and the entry into force of the relevant resolution.Rating systems for unmanned aerial vehicles and the new feature in 'Army+' highlight the ongoing efforts of the Ukrainian army to improve military technologies and simplify processes for military personnel. This signifies the adaptation of the army to modern realities and the pursuit of efficiency in combat conditions.
