Quantum Cyber Completes First Mini-Interceptor Drone at Its Newly U.S. Manufacturing Facility in Bridgeport, Connecticut
Milestone Follows Closing on July 16, 2026, of the Approximately 50,000 Square Foot Bridgeport, Connecticut Facility and Marks the First Physical Airframe Produced from the Company’s Interceptor Product Line; Planned 80-Unit 3D Printing Drone Production Farm Currently Expected to Come Online Shortly
WEST PALM BEACH, Florida, July 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quantum Cyber N.V. (Nasdaq: QUCY) (“Quantum Cyber” or the “Company”), a Nasdaq-listed autonomous defense technology company assembling an AI-powered System-of-Systems platform for drone warfare, counter-UAS, and border security applications, today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Quantum Drones Corporation, has completed the manufacturing and assembly of its first mini-interceptor drone at the Company’s newly acquired U.S.-based manufacturing facility in Bridgeport, Connecticut.
The milestone marks the first in-house drone produced by Quantum Cyber following the closing on July 15, 2026, of the approximately 50,000 square foot Bridgeport, Connecticut facility, and represents what the Company believes is an operational proof point in the Company’s stated strategic transition from a technology development and IP licensing platform to a vertically integrated autonomous defense manufacturer with domestic production capacity under its own control.
A Mini-Interceptor Built for Swarm Deployment
The mini-interceptor is a high-speed autonomous platform engineered for rapid response and aerial neutralization of hostile unmanned aerial systems. It is a core component of the Company’s
currently planned counter-UAS product line and is designed to be produced at attritable unit economics for high-volume tactical deployment.
Mini-Interceptor Platform Specifications
- Maximum speed: up to 220 kilometers per hour
- Operation time: up to 20 minutes
- Payload: up to 50 grams of energetic payload
- Fast interception capability against hostile unmanned aerial systems
- Compact and maneuverable airframe optimized for tactical aerial engagements
As previously disclosed on May 21, 2026, the Company’s Quantum Drone Autonomous System (QDAS) architecture, for which Quantum Cyber filed a provisional patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on May 19, 2026, contemplates the deployment of interceptor micro-drones in swarms of up to 12 units per airborne sentinel platform, with scalable sentinel deployment intended to enable total deployable interceptor capacity in the thousands from a single force package. Producing this class of interceptor domestically, at scale, and at attritable unit economics is central to the Company’s positioning within the U.S. counter-UAS procurement pipeline.
