Quantum Systems says it is finalizing contracts for its first ground robotic systems. The company hints initial deliveries to Ukraine could arrive before the end of the year.
The German company Quantum Systems expects that the first ground robotic systems could be delivered to Ukraine by the end of this year.
The company’s vice president, Matthias Lena, stated this during an interview.
According to him, the company is already in the final stage of signing its first contracts.
Delivery plans and development of ground robotic systems
Regarding our other ground unmanned systems, we are already in talks and at the final stage of signing the first contracts. We are confident that we will be able to deliver such systems to Ukraine this year

He also noted that Quantum Systems is working on autonomous ground solutions in collaboration with Daimler Truck.
The Bundeswehr has commissioned us to develop and test unmanned military convoys as part of the Interoperable Robotic Convoy (InterRoC) research project. To this end, our AI and autonomy solutions are integrated on Daimler Truck’s military platforms

At the same time Lena noted that the ground robotic platform segment is only beginning to actively develop. The unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) field is still at an early stage of development, so there will be many technological changes in the near future, the company representative noted.

He expressed confidence that the future of European security will largely depend on the ability to integrate Ukrainian experience and technologies. “Europe still has to prove that it is sufficiently adaptable. Positive shifts are already noticeable. Germany in this regard is one of the leaders outside Ukraine,” he concluded.

The company’s expectations indicate a potential impact on defense cooperation between Ukraine and European partners, particularly regarding the integration of advanced expertise in the field of ground robotics.
In the context of the industry’s overall development, it is emphasized that partnership between Quantum Systems and Ukrainian and European players could strengthen defense capabilities and contribute to bolstering regional security.
