Quantum Systems wins two tenders in Spain and becomes Spanish Armed Forces main supplier for mid-range-reconnaissance 

Spanish Armed Forces sign landmark framework agreement on mid-range reconnaissance with Vector sUAS and become the first Family of Systems customer, including Twister for the Spanish Air Force.

Madrid, 4 May, 2025 – Quantum Systems, the European market leader for unmanned aerial intelligence solutions, is proud to announce that the Spanish Armed Forces have procured two different systems from the cutting-edge Family of Systems – Vector and Twister – making the Spanish Armed Forces the first customer to embrace Quantum Systems’ full-spectrum Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities.

The Spanish Armed Forces and Quantum Systems have signed a framework agreement through which the Spanish Armed Forces will receive new medium range reconnaissance capabilities, with a landmark order of 91 Vector systems, comprising 182 drones. Vector will be deployed for ISR missions across the Spanish Armed Forces, offering endurance, reliability, and mission flexibility.

Vector will find its initial users with the Spanish Army (Ejército de Tierra) and the Spanish Marine Infantry (Infantería de Marina). Deliveries of the first systems will already begin in 2025.

The Spanish Armed Forces and Quantum Systems will announce further details about the deployment of Vector and the framework agreement at the International Defence & Security Exhibition (FEINDEF) from 12 – 14 Mai in Madrid, Spain.

In parallel, the Spanish Air Force procured multiple Twister systems, with options for additional Systems, for their specialized Forces to equip them with short range reconnaissance systems for highly dynamic missions.

With the procurement of Twister and Vector, the Spanish Armed Forces will experience the full value of Quantum Systems’ Family of Systems architecture for ISTAR missions at short- and mid-range.
