Quantum Systems’ robotic platforms to arrive in Ukraine this year, company Vice President says
This was announced in an interview with Ukrinform by company's Vice President Matthias Lehna.
According to Lehna, the company is already in the final stages of concluding its first contracts.
"As for our other unmanned ground systems, we are already in talks and are in the final stages of signing our first contracts. We are confident that we will be able to deliver such systems to Ukraine later this year," Lehna said.
He noted that Quantum Systems is also working on autonomous ground solutions together with Daimler Truck.
"The Bundeswehr has tasked us with developing and testing unmanned military convoys as part of the Interoperable Robotic Convoy (InterRoC) research project. To achieve this, our artificial intelligence and autonomy solutions are being integrated into Daimler Truck military platforms," he explained.
At the same time, Lehna pointed out that the unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) segment is only beginning to gain momentum.
"The field of unmanned ground vehicles is still at an early stage of development, so we are likely to see many technological changes in the near future," the company representative said.
He expressed confidence that the future of European security will depend to a large extent on the ability to integrate Ukrainian experience and technologies.
"Europe still has to prove that it is adaptable enough. Positive developments are already visible. In this regard, Germany is one of the leaders outside Ukraine," Lehna concluded.
As reported by Ukrinform, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius stated that Ukraine's experience in the use of drones, counter-drone warfare, and electronic warfare is of exceptional value to Germany and its NATO allies.
