The article discusses the concept of efficiency in the context of assessment system solutions and the methods used to measure it. Efficiency is defined as the ability to produce effects and achieve results, while effectiveness is understood as the outcome of certain actions. Efficiency theory is based on operations research and decision-making methods using mathematical models such as probability theory and machine learning techniques. The results of performance measurements can be used to solve a variety of practical problems related to unmanned aerial vehicles, including comparing similar systems, conducting operational assessments, and optimizing requirements. The paper also discusses the modification of flight control and planning models, where stochastic parameters that affect mission quality need to be considered. Societal effects, such as flight normality and safety, can be measured by direct assessment methods and statistical metrics. More generalized metrics can be used to assess flight safety by comparing the number of accidents and workload. Suggested methods include the use of mathematical models and integration techniques to assess flight safety.
