Quantum Systems raises $1.2B to expand drone production and deployments

Quantum Systems last week said it has raised $1.2 billion in Series D funding, bringing its valuation to more than $8 billion. The defense drone supplier plans to use the capital to expand production and deployments of its autonomous uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) for frontline forces.

The company, founded in 2015 by Florian Seibel, develops and produces fully autonomous eVTOL fixed-wing drones that offer industry-leading flight endurance and reliability. Quantum Systems has experienced triple-digit percentage growth year over year in output and employees. It serves government agencies and commercial enterprises with multi-sensor aerial intelligence for defense, security, humanitarian, and geospatial operations.

Quantum Systems has operational deployments at scale, including in Ukraine in 2025. The company has offices in Gilching, Germany; Moorpark, California; and Australia. “The future is unmanned. Defense will be defined by autonomous systems that can operate together across domains in real time,” stated Seibel, co-founder and co-CEO. “We are profitable, deployed around the world, and with the latest financing round, we now have more than $1.2 billion of dry powder to execute.”
