This study analyzes operational sustainment doctrine and logistics innovation in the mass drone operation environment revealed during the Ukraine War. The deployment of millions of drones with monthly losses exceeding 10,000 units and rapidly evolving electronic warfare environments demands fundamental changes to existing operational sustainment concepts. The research findings indicate that traditional sustainment principles—integration, anticipation, responsiveness, simplicity, economy, survivability, continuity, and improvisation—must be reinterpreted in the context of drone warfare. Innovative approaches such as autonomous resupply systems, predictive maintenance technologies, modular drone design, energy management systems, and 3D printing applications are essential. Future operational sustainment systems require a paradigm shift from preserving few high-value assets to managing mass consumable assets, from centralized to distributed structures, and from planning-centric to adaptation-centric approaches. Policy recommendations include doctrine revision, R&D investment, supply chain resilience enhancement, and specialized personnel development.
