OTS - Long-endurance reconnaissance drones from German manufacturer Quantum-Systems in operation in Ukraine
2022. August 02. 15:36
Munich, Germany, 2 August, 2022 (APA/OTS) - The Ministry of Defense
of Ukraine has selected Vector drones from Quantum-Systems. The
delivery in military support for Ukraine's armed forces is being
financed by German funds for security capacity building. -
Munich-based drone manufacturer Quantum-Systems has received an
order from Ukraine for the delivery of reconnaissance drones. Part
of the ordered drones is already in use in Ukraine. Delivery of the
larger part of the ordered quantity is still in the preparation and
processing stage and will take place after the training of
Ukrainian forces and drone pilots.
The details of modalities and logistics will be clarified in
close consultation between the partners involved. Training on the
use of the Vector reconnaissance drone usually takes no more than
four days. For security reasons, no further details on the quantity
and timing of the deliveries will be given until the handover has
taken place.
Florian Seibel, founder and CEO of Quantum-Systems, himself
deployed for 16 years with the German Armed Forces, also as an army
pilot, on the current situation: "It is important to me to be able
to supply the Ukrainian army with a system that supports in the
defense of their country. Due to the state of emergency on site and
thanks to the support of the German Ministry of Defense, we were
able to serve and realize the order from Ukraine very quickly. This
applies not only to the financing, but also to the coordination of
the training services and the export license. The solidarity with
Ukraine and the defense of our common democratic values has led to
a much faster procedure than would normally be the case."
The high-tech Vector drone meets the Ukrainian Army's
requirement profile for aerial reconnaissance. It flies without
almost any noise emission and delivers high-resolution video images
from the air via an encrypted data link, contributing to an
accurate situational awareness. The Vector long-range
reconnaissance drone also is equipped with state-of-the-art digital
connectivity to communicate in real time with other systems and
achieve an increased combat performance for the whole network.
