The fast-growing startup — known for developing advanced unmanned aerial vehicles — has seen a sharp rise in demand following a string of drone-related disruptions at major airports across Europe. Its newest model, the “Jaeger”, is specifically designed to detect and intercept hostile drones, positioning the company at the forefront of the expanding market for aerial defense technology.
The report added that Quantum Systems plans to accelerate growth through acquisitions of smaller startups and technology firms in the near term. Financial projections suggest the company could generate €300 million in revenue in 2025, and exceed €500 million by 2026, underscoring its rapid expansion trajectory.
A second and larger funding round is already being planned for 2026, which could push the company’s valuation to around €5 billion, Manager Magazin noted.
Quantum Systems has not commented publicly on the reported fundraising or valuation figures.
The development comes shortly after the German government announced plans to give police authority to shoot down rogue drones, a move aimed at countering growing threats to public safety and infrastructure. Several European airports have experienced flight disruptions attributed to drone interference, incidents that some officials have linked to hybrid warfare tactics from Russia.
Founded in Munich, Quantum Systems has established itself as a leading European drone manufacturer, serving both civilian and defense sectors. Its expanding portfolio — including surveillance, reconnaissance, and counter-drone technologies — has attracted increasing interest from investors and government clients amid a global surge in demand for drone-based security solutions.
