Quantum Systems connects autonomous defence across domains

As a European defence neo-prime, Quantum Systems combines autonomous air, ground and maritime systems with MOSAIC UXS mission software and counter-UAS capabilities. Its approach brings intelligence, coordinated operations and force protection into a connected portfolio for allied customers.

For defence forces, the value of autonomy depends on how effectively platforms and sensors work together. Information collected in one domain needs to support decisions elsewhere, while forces and infrastructure require protection from unmanned aerial threats. Meeting these requirements calls for close integration between hardware, software and the people directing a mission.

Quantum Systems develops, manufactures and deploys autonomous systems for defence, security and civil resilience customers. Its portfolio brings together unmanned platforms, sensors and AI, drawing on experience with battle-proven systems. At the centre of its approach are two complementary capabilities: MOSAIC UXS connects assets and mission information across domains, while cUAS provides the means to detect, track and counter aerial threats. Together, they give the company's expanding platform portfolio a shared operational purpose.

MOSAIC UXS is Quantum Systems' AI-enabled mission combat system. It combines information from sensors and unmanned assets to help operators build a common operational picture, plan missions and coordinate execution. By bringing these functions into a shared software environment, it supports decisions that account for activity across air, land and sea.

Its open architecture supports the integration of third-party platforms and existing command environments. Customers can connect capabilities around their mission requirements and develop the network as new systems become available. The objective is to make information and assets useful across the wider force, with operators retaining command. This software backbone gives Quantum Systems a foundation for delivering integrated defence capabilities as its portfolio grows.

In the air, Quantum Systems' reconnaissance portfolio addresses different operational scales. Twister brings portable, short-range intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance to small units, while Reliant supports longer-range missions with vertical take-off and landing and modular payloads. These systems give forces options for collecting information where access, deployment speed and persistence shape the requirement.

On land, Mandrill extends the portfolio through a modular unmanned ground vehicle designed for reconnaissance, logistics and force protection. Its native MOSAIC UXS integration enables air and ground assets to share situational awareness and coordinate missions. Mission configurations include support for drone launch and recovery, while onboard charging can sustain equipment in the field. Connecting these functions allows ground mobility, aerial observation and mission software to contribute to the same operational task.

Counter-UAS is a core protective capability across the Quantum Systems portfolio. It brings together the sensing and interception functions needed to address unmanned aerial threats, complementing the company's reconnaissance and autonomous mission systems. This adds a protection role to the same wider defence architecture used to improve awareness and coordination.

Skyron 400 demonstrates how cUAS and MOSAIC UXS work together. Radar information, threat tracks and interceptor status are brought into a common command environment, supporting coordinated responses with human authority at critical decisions. Open sensor integration also allows customer-owned equipment to contribute to the capability. For defence users, the emphasis is a connected approach to air protection that can be configured around the force, infrastructure and operating environment being protected.

The maritime portfolio puts this approach into a demanding operational setting. Naval forces must maintain awareness across coastal approaches, ports and offshore areas while understanding activity below the surface. Quantum Systems combines autonomous surface and underwater platforms with aerial sensing and MOSAIC UXS to support this broader view of maritime security.

Seavex acts as a surface mission hub, combining surveillance, communications and support for other unmanned assets. Designed for endurance of up to two months and payloads of up to 400 kg, it supports sustained maritime presence. Autonomous UAV launch and recovery extend observation into the air, while docking, recharging and data services support Subvex underwater operations. Performance depends on the selected configuration and operating conditions.

Subvex contributes the underwater perspective. Its sonar and hydroacoustic sensing, supported by onboard AI processing, enable the collection and interpretation of subsea information. With a published operating depth of up to 6,000 metres, the platform supports observation in a wide range of underwater environments. It can work independently or as part of a network supported by Seavex.

Together, these capabilities support maritime surveillance, monitoring around cables and pipelines, and protection of offshore infrastructure. Bringing underwater observations into the same operational framework as surface and aerial information helps operators understand activity across the mission area. Additional assets can extend coverage as requirements develop.

The Seavex interceptor configuration adds a maritime cUAS role through radar-based aerial threat monitoring and interceptor deployment. Connected through MOSAIC UXS, it brings protection against airborne threats into the maritime network. This illustrates the company's broader proposition: autonomous platforms, mission software and protective capabilities working together across domain boundaries, with naval requirements shaping the configuration.

Quantum Systems combines this technology portfolio with more than 1,800 employees across eight countries. Growing revenue and demonstrated profitability support an industrial base built to scale across allied markets. Its neo-prime model brings platform development, manufacturing and software expertise together around integrated customer requirements.

For customers, the proposition is a defence partner able to connect autonomous capabilities across domains and expand them as missions change. MOSAIC UXS provides the software continuity; cUAS strengthens protection. Together with air, ground and maritime platforms, these capabilities underpin Quantum Systems' role in building a connected autonomous force.
