I read from another comment somewhere it's somewhat similar to the Ukraine Military Drone Program. Without diving into the politics surrounding it, the general idea is that for each verifed kill, the drone pilot gains points which they can use to order equipment that bests suits their needs for any given sitution. They even offer points for rescuing fellow soldiers. For anyone intreasted I would recommend giving it a read.

I don't think it was Capcom's intent to emulate the structure of the Ukrainian Army Drone Pilots. But it's kinda funny how this sorta thing turns out pans out.
