Ukraine’s Brave1 defense-technology initiative has expanded its “Army of Drones. Bonus” (ePoints) program, a digital incentive system that allows frontline units to exchange verified drone strikes for drones, electronics, and other urgently needed equipment. Brave1, the government-run tech accelerator responsible for fast-tracking new defense capabilities, says the program is reshaping how Ukraine’s armed forces engage
This is wild, they’re gamifying combat effectiveness. It’s also an interesting way of streamlining logistics to fast track more drones to the more effective units and pull back on units that use them less. This does come at the cost of more work in the background for someone to verify the results before the points are credited to the unit. Overall it seems more efficient!
