MoD engages the League of Defence Companies in developing a quality assurance system for defense industry products
The Ministry of Defence continues to work on developing a state quality assurance system for defense products in Ukraine.
As part of this process, the Ministry of Defence has signed a Cooperation Agreement with the Public Union ‘League of Defence Companies of Ukraine.’
The document was signed by the Head of the State Quality Assurance Department of the Ministry of Defence, Yevhen Krasnykov, and the Chair of the League’s Board, Oleh Vysotskyi.
The parties agreed to consolidate efforts to implement modern quality management approaches in line with the practices of NATO member states.
As part of the cooperation, the League will provide Ministry of Defence specialists with practical experience in implementing quality management systems, including NATO AQAP standards, which several member companies of the League have already adopted. This will enable MoD specialists to acquire the necessary knowledge and enhance their professional development.
“Our goal is to provide Ukraine’s Defence Forces with weapons that meet the highest quality standards. The partnership with the League of Defence Companies of Ukraine is a step toward creating a unified culture of quality within the defense industry. We aim to ensure that the state quality assurance system is effective, transparent, and results-oriented — enhancing the country’s defense capabilities and safeguarding the lives of Ukrainian defenders,” said Yevhen Krasnykov.
The Ministry of Defence and the League agreed to implement the following joint actions:
- To hold consultations, seminars, and conferences on the implementation of the state quality assurance system;
- To provide methodological support to enterprises in implementing quality management systems in accordance with NATO standards;
- To exchange information on changes in the regulatory and technical framework;
- To jointly develop draft regulatory and methodological documents related to quality assurance.
The League of Defence Companies of Ukraine brings together domestic developers and manufacturers of defense and dual-use products. It plays an important role in developing the private sector of the defense industry and in ensuring that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are supplied with high-quality and reliable products.
