Quantum Systems is a Gilching-based (near Munich) defense and commercial drone company founded in 2015 that designs and manufactures autonomous fixed-wing VTOL unmanned aerial systems. Its flagship Vector and Trinity platforms combine vertical takeoff with long-endurance fixed-wing flight for ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) missions. The company gained significant attention during the Ukraine conflict, where its drones were deployed for battlefield reconnaissance.
