Products & Solutions
Vector AI
Vector AI is a combat-proven mid-endurance eVTOL fixed-wing sUAS designed for tactical ISR missions. In fixed-wing configuration it has a 2.80-metre wingspan, weighs 9.5 kg at max take-off weight, and delivers 180+ minutes of flight endurance at speeds of 15–20 m/s. The system operates as a 2-in-1 platform, converting toollessly between fixed-wing and multicopter modes using identical avionics, ground controller and sensors. Dual NVIDIA Jetson Orin SOM processors handle onboard AI object detection, classification and tracking, keeping it effective in GPS-denied and electronically contested environments. Vector AI has logged over 20,000 operational flight hours in Ukraine and is integrated with ATAK, SitaWare, Kropyva and other NATO battle management systems.
Reliant
Reliant is a Group 2 VTOL fixed-wing UAS built for persistent ISR and RSTA missions requiring long loiter times and infrastructure-free deployment. Powered by a heavy-fuel internal combustion engine, it achieves over 10 hours of endurance with a 33 kg max take-off weight and a 4.30-metre wingspan, operating at command and control ranges up to 41 km. Dual hot-swappable, MOD-compliant payload bays support EO/IR, SIGINT, SAR and electronic warfare sensor combinations. A two-person team can deploy the system from a 10x10-metre footprint in under 10 minutes from rooftops, vehicles or ships, and onboard Jetson Orin NX processors maintain autonomous mission execution in GNSS-denied conditions.
Trinity Pro
Trinity Pro is a commercial-grade eVTOL fixed-wing mapping drone designed for geospatial, infrastructure and survey missions. It achieves up to 90 minutes of flight time, can cover 700 hectares in a single mission, and supports a wide choice of sensors including RGB, oblique, multispectral and LiDAR via a quick-lock payload compartment. The platform runs on the Quantum-Skynode autopilot, integrates tightly with QBase 3D mission planning software, and carries an IP55 weather rating. The Trinity platform has accumulated more than 75,000 flight hours globally since its market launch in 2018.
MOSAIC UXS
MOSAIC UXS is Quantum Systems' multi-domain command and control software for orchestrating unmanned systems across air, land and sea domains. It generates 3D digital representations of mission areas and translates high-level objectives into precise commands for individual platforms or entire swarms, compatible with major battle management systems including BMS, MGCS and FCAS. The software scales from single-operator handheld control to full multi-platform swarm orchestration from a command centre, with open interfaces for integrating third-party unmanned systems and modular AI algorithms. Sensor data from all connected platforms is fused into a unified operational picture to reduce operator cognitive load.
