Quantum-Systems and Teleplan Globe partnership
Quantum-Systems and Teleplan Globe team up to enhance capabilities of elite units and Special Forces
MUNICH, Germany and Oslo, Norway, September 13th, 2022 — Teleplan Globe, software and system solutions company from Oslo and Munich-based drone manufacturer Quantum-Systems have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to integrate the FACNAV battle space management system into the Quantum-Systems Vector & Scorpion 2-in-1 platform. The cooperation is designed to add value in future operations by increasing precision in conducting Close Air Support missions and increasing capacity for information sharing.
Both companies have developed unique systems that, when combined, become a superior asset for the professional user. For Quantum-Systems it was of enormous importance to work with a partner at eye level who is sharing similar values and attitudes. “With Teleplan, we have found exactly this opportunity: two medium-sized companies and global market leaders in their field are more agile, faster and significantly more cost-effective than the established major players in this fields,” states Quantum-Systems CEO Florian Seibel.
The task of the new joint venture is to develop, produce and sell new and innovative products as well as services to solve the challenges of close air support missions and related information sharing to all parties. “As a leading provider of software and solutions for decision makers that protect people, assets and institutions, we see a huge opportunity in this cooperation,” explains Teleplan Globe Vice President of Sales & Marketing Magne Killingstad. “In addition to its expertise in electronics and UAV development, manufacturing and repair, Quantum-Systems offers its global sales network.”
Funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) with a volume of approximately 1.8 million euros, the project aims to set new milestones in forest fire fighting with AI support. The project "AI-based Forest Monitoring - Artificial Intelligence for Early Detection of Forest Fire Events" (KIWA) will use advanced technologies to identify and predict potential forest fire risks to enable early prevention and intervention measures.
Generating a practicable superior asset
Teleplan Globe developed the FACNAV system to meet the high demands of an elite unit within the Norwegian Special Forces. The daily operations require flawless and advanced information sharing. To enhance these capabilities, Teleplan Globe teamed up with Quantum-Systems Vector UAS to create a platform for increased precision in special operation missions.
The cooperation between Quantum-Systems and Teleplan Globe started in April 2022, when the German Material Procurement Agency, BAAINBw awarded Teleplan Globe the contract to provide the German Armed Forces with the FACNAV system for Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTAC). Quantum-Systems then got in touch with Teleplan Globe and within a few days we had a complete integration of our Vector into the FACNAV software.
We were able to complete a so-called “zero-day” integration
within one day. The Quantum-Systems and Teleplan Globe
teams were able to get the video and meta-data into the
FACNAV system in real time right off the bat. This could
provide immediate added value, at no additional cost,
to the German Army in case the special forces decide
to procure our Vector reconnaissance drones as part
of their Falke procurement programme.
The ease-of-use of both our products enable the end-users to swiftly
set up and operate in the situations they train for and are actively
involved in. Innovative technology combined with the ambition of
two forward-leaning agile companies sets the stage for
new capabilities for the warfighters. Through live testing
ith Quantum Systems, we have seen the unprecedented effect
of their sensors combined with Teleplan Globes software and we are
eager to see where this can progress further in Germany and abroad.
