Our Mission

To serve and protect frontline forces by providing next-generation aerial intelligence and targeting.

Our Vision

To lead the way in aerial intelligence for frontline forces, consistently pushing the boundaries of technology to deliver innovative, reliable, and high-quality solutions.

What We Do

We develop, design, and produce fully autonomous uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) for frontline forces, providing aerial intelligence to enhance operational efficiency and decision-making.

Quantum-Systems Inc. is more than just a drone manufacturer; we are an aerial data intelligence company that provides multi-sensor data collection products to government agencies and commercial enterprises. Our electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) systems boast industry-leading flight endurance, ease of operation, and reliability.

Customers in the public and private sectors alike use Quantum-Systems Inc.’s versatile UAS for defense, security, humanitarian, and geospatial operations. With a world-class team and nearly a decade of experience in drones, robotics and imagery collection, Quantum-Systems has a proven technology stack and a strong track record of building best-in-class UAS systems that provide mission-critical data to operators.

Quantum-Systems GmbH, the parent company of Quantum-Systems Inc., was founded by Florian Seibel in 2015 in Gilching, Germany several years after registering the patent for a vertically launchable unmanned transition aircraft. Since then, the company’s output and number of employees have continuously grown with triple-digit percentage growth year over year.

In 2022, Quantum-Systems Inc. opened its doors in Moorpark, CA as Quantum-Systems GmbH’s North American headquarters, serving defense and security customers throughout North and South America.

Our VTOL Technology

Our VTOL fixed-wing UAS combines the handling of a multi-rotor drone and the efficient aerodynamics of an airplane into one system.

“Tilt rotor transition aircraft” is what we call this innovative category of drones. After a vertical take-off and reaching the desired transition altitude, the drone has a short phase of acceleration. During this transition phase, the rotors – driven by electric motors – swivel from the vertical take-off position to a horizontal flight position.

No runway, catapult, parachute or extra equipment is needed for take-off or landing. The UAS land smoothly on their shock absorbing landing gear that reduce impact, resulting in an extended product lifespan.
