Romania Selects Quantum Systems for SAFE-Financed UAS Procurement
Quantum Systems has been selected by the Romanian Ministry of National Defence to supply additional Vector reconnaissance systems for surveillance missions under projects financed through the European Union’s SAFE (Security Action for Europe) instrument.
SAFE, adopted by the Council of the European Union in May 2025, was established to accelerate European defence readiness through large-scale investments in critical defence capabilities while strengthening the European defence technological and industrial base.
The newly signed contract expands the Romanian Armed Forces’ existing Vector fleet and further strengthens Quantum Systems’ presence in Romania. The systems will support tactical reconnaissance and surveillance missions and are complementary to ongoing industrial cooperation activities in the country.
“The systems contracted today are in addition to those already in service with the Romanian Armed Forces and complement the ongoing co-production project in Romania,” said Romania’s Acting Minister of Defence, Radu Miruță.
Martin Karkour, Chief Revenue Officer at Quantum Systems, said:
“SAFE represents an important step toward strengthening Europe’s defence readiness through scalable procurement and industrial cooperation. We are proud that Romania has selected Quantum Systems as part of one of the first SAFE-supported projects.
This project also demonstrates how rapidly deployable European systems can contribute to SAFE-supported capability development.”
The procurement further reflects Quantum Systems’ broader strategy of supporting European technological sovereignty through locally integrated, operationally proven unmanned systems and long-term industrial partnerships across the continent.
Quantum Systems’ Vector AI is a combat-proven eVTOL reconnaissance system with extensive operational use, including in Ukraine since 2022. Integrated into the AI-enabled MOSAIC UXS software suite, the silent electric VTOL fixed-wing platform delivers real-time ISR data and combines fixed-wing endurance with vertical take-off and landing flexibility. Built on a modular systems architecture with onboard AI capabilities, Vector AI enables reliable operation in complex environments while reducing operator workload. The system can also be reconfigured into a multicopter setup using the same core hardware, software, and user interface.
