This article examines the conceptual framework for measuring the efficiency of unmanned systems, focusing on a task-oriented and problem-solving approach to evaluating the performance of cargo unmanned aerial vehicles. The efficiency of cargo unmanned aerial vehicles pertains to their ability to complete missions on time and cost-effectively, while maximizing utilization, minimizing resource loss, and maintaining an acceptable level of flight safety. It is important to highlight that the efficiency of cargo unmanned aerial vehicles is multifaceted, encompassing technical, operational, economic, environmental, and regulatory dimensions. Progress in each of these areas contributes to the successful deployment and optimization of cargo drones across various applications, from last-mile deliveries to supply chain operations in remote regions. The article presents two methodologies for assessing the efficiency of cargo drones.
