DOT-Chain Defence: A New Approach to Military Procurement
In partnership with the Defense Procurement Agency and the State Rear Operations Operator, the DOT-Chain Defence project has been developed – a marketplace that fundamentally changes the principles of supplying weapons to the Ukrainian army. The new service will allow military personnel to independently place orders according to their operational needs, while receiving complete information about suppliers, product lists, and delivery times.
“Together with the Defense Procurement Agency and DOT – the State Rear Operations Operator, we are implementing DOT-Chain Defence – a weapon marketplace that radically changes the approach to supply,” he noted.
The First Stage and Future Development of the Platform
The official launch of DOT-Chain Defence is scheduled for July, when the first manufacturers and military units will join the project. In the initial stage, the marketplace will cover the sale of FPV drones; however, in the future, its functionality will expand to include other types of unmanned aerial vehicles, electronic warfare systems, and modern robotic systems.
With the implementation of this digital platform, more accurate procurement planning, reduced bureaucracy, and a significant acceleration of the supply of necessary equipment are expected. DOT-Chain Defence is based on the DOT-Chain system, which has already proven its effectiveness by reducing the food supply cycle by four times and transitioning most processes to an electronic format.
