As part of the official German delegation to the NATO summit in Ankara, Quantum Systems announced its support of NATO’s Drone Edge initiative, with the expansion of its international production network. Besides expanding existing manufacturing facilities in Germany, Ukraine, Australia and California, the company is currently ramping up a new facility in Huntsville, Alabama. Additional production sites are being established in the UK and along the Eastern Flank in Lithuania, Estonia and Romania.

“Combat power does not begin on the battlefield—it begins in trusted factories. Armed forces can only fight at the speed their industrial partners can produce, adapt, and sustain,” said Martin Karkour, Chief Revenue Officer of Quantum Systems. ” Our expanding manufacturing footprint allows us to produce closer to our customers, strengthen industrial cooperation across the Alliance, and translate operational demand into reliable delivery.”

Sven Kruck, co-CEO of Quantum Systems said: “Deliver, Support, Integrate and it is our philosophy of localisation. After delivering systems, we quickly build up a local support network and then integrate in national economies and industries to scale production and deliver in months, not years.”

With manufacturing capabilities spanning multiple allied nations, Quantum Systems continues to invest in the industrial infrastructure needed to support long-term defence readiness and deliver critical autonomous systems where they are needed most.
