Units will receive UAVs three times faster: drone distribution in the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been digitized
Minister of Defense of Ukraine Mykhailo Fedorov announced the launch of a fully automated system for distributing UAVs among military units. The path of a drone from warehouse intake to receipt by a unit has been reduced by 2–3 times — to approximately one day.
This was reported on Mykhailo Fedorov’s Telegram channel.
Fast logistics of enemy engagement assets is a key challenge for unit effectiveness on the battlefield. Manual distribution of drones between units caused a number of problems: duplicate requests, slow issuance, errors due to the human factor, and outdated data. Military units could not plan operations without a clear understanding of UAV delivery timelines.
Thanks to automation, it is now possible to obtain high-quality data that allows:
- viewing unit requests in real time within a single system;
- knowing the number of drones in warehouses;
- generating issuance orders within minutes;
- planning supplies without delays or duplication.
Mykhailo Fedorov noted that the automatic distribution of drones among units operates on the SAP platform. The system covers the entire drone supply chain — from procurement to transfer to a unit.
“For the military, this means faster supply and more accurate planning. For the state, it means transparent control of deliveries”, — he explained.
