LONDON, UK, Sep 10, 2025 – Quantum Systems is deepening its footprint in the United Kingdom with the launch of Quantum-Systems Ltd. UK, formed after the acquisition of Nordic Unmanned UK. Backed by a €50 million, five-year plan, the move signals a bet on autonomy, uncrewed systems, and local supply chains.
The UK Ministry of Defense is reshaping its defense mix under the 20-40-40 strategy, balancing 20% crewed platforms, controlling 40% reusable platforms such as drones and 40% consumable systems such as rockets, missiles, and one-way effectors. With its ISR portfolio from short- to long-range and it’s multi-domain and multi-asset software MOSAIC UXS, Quantum Systems is positioned to deliver against this doctrine.
Strategic Investment in British Capability
Quantum Systems’ plan includes infrastructure, local engineering, and partnerships with UK providers. The company will establish Service, Support, Training and Logistics Center (SSTLC) capabilities on demand, invest in maintenance and repair operations, and build training and test infrastructure, creating jobs and strengthening sovereign capability. A MOU with Skyports, will be formalized at DSEI UK 2025, showing Quantum Systems’ commitment to the UK ecosystem.
Introducing Reliant: Rise of QS’ newest ISR Drone
At DSEI UK 2025, Quantum Systems is showing Reliant, its long-range ISR system. Reliant completes the company’s aerial portfolio for short, medium, and long-range intelligence missions. Reliant is controlled via multi-domain and multi-asset MOSAIC UXS software, which Quantum Systems launched earlier this year.
Vito Tomasi, managing director, Quantum Systems Ltd. UK commented: “Quantum Systems is here to stay and deepen our investment in the UK. By investing in British talent, infrastructure, and partnerships, and by delivering our proven, battlefield-ready aerial intelligence systems, we will contribute to the UK’s defense priorities and even exceed expectations.”
Martin Karkour, CRO, Quantum Systems said: “Our mission is clear. The UK is investing in autonomy, resilience, and next-generation unmanned intelligence. With our UK hub, our acquisition of Nordic Unmanned UK, and the leadership of Vito Tomasi, Quantum Systems is committed to being the trusted partner delivering these capabilities for Britain’s defence and security.”
