Quantum Systems manufactures drones in Ukraine at secret factories
According to the Managing Director of Quantum Systems Ukraine, Oleksandr Berezhny, the company has been implementing joint production in Ukraine for several years, while others are only beginning to discuss such projects.
Production facilities are located in different regions of the country, which reduces risks related to possible Russian missile strikes on defense facilities.
In parallel, the company is developing drone production in Germany, the USA and Australia. In Germany, monthly production volume is approximately 120 units.
Quantum Systems has been producing Vector drones in Ukraine since April 2024. The new version of the Vector drone is equipped with artificial intelligence and an acoustic sensor capable of detecting enemy artillery positions by sound at long distances. The drones are already undergoing testing in cooperation with the Ukrainian Missile and Artillery Command.
Quantum Business Development Director Matthias Lena noted that it was the hostilities in Ukraine that became a key factor in the development of drone technologies.
According to him, the drone industry is developing not in Silicon Valley, but in Donbas.
It was also previously reported that Quantum Systems is developing a new FPV carrier drone called Sparta for the Ukrainian Defense Forces, which has a flight range of 200 km.
