The military will exchange points for hit targets for drones, ground-based robotic complexes and EW assets on the Brave1 Market. About this informs Ministry of Digital Transformation.
As early as August 2025, the Defense Forces will be able to receive UAVs, ground-based robotic systems, and Ukrainian electronic warfare equipment for their units in exchange for points accumulated within the “Army of Drones.Bonus” program. All interaction between the military and manufacturers will take place online, which will allow faster delivery of equipment to the front.
More than 400 units have already joined the bonus program, which are performing combat missions along the entire front line. Previously, the State Intelligence Service was responsible for checking damage and handing over drones. Now these functions are distributed:
Brave1 will be responsible for verifying confirmed hits from the military, calculating combat points and developing the Brave1 Market. Through authorization in DELTA, units will be able to choose exactly the technologies they need to perform tasks. The Defense Procurement Agency will be responsible for the qualification of manufacturers, rapid procurement and transfer of equipment to units through the DOT-Chain Defense system. The Ministry of Digital will, as before, determine the policy of the program.
To obtain equipment, the unit chooses codified UAVs, ground robotic complexes or EW vehicles, as well as non-codified FPV drones through the Brave1 Market in the secure DELTA system, based on accumulated points. The order then goes to the DOT-Chain Defense digital platform, which is administered by the Defense Procurement Agency of the Department of Defense. The entire procedure — from conclusion of the agreement to payment — will take place online.
