Company Outlines Manufacturing Expansion Plans
Quantum Cyber N.V. (NASDAQ:QUCY) has unveiled production targets for a proposed drone manufacturing facility in Bridgeport, Connecticut, projecting annual output of approximately 100,000 drones once the site reaches full operating capacity.
The announcement follows the signing of a Letter of Intent on 8 June 2026 by Quantum Drones Corporation, the company’s wholly owned subsidiary, to acquire a manufacturing facility at 38 Union Avenue in Bridgeport from Arcade Technology LLC for $3.2 million.
The site spans approximately 50,000 square feet and includes industrial equipment such as CNC machining centres, overhead crane systems and compressed air infrastructure.
Facility Designed for Multiple Drone Platforms
According to the company, the proposed facility will feature several automated assembly lines capable of producing different categories of unmanned aerial systems.
These include one-way attack drone platforms, commonly referred to as kamikaze drones, as well as autonomous interceptor systems.
Quantum Cyber said the property’s existing manufacturing equipment—including 3D printers, stamping presses, lathes and milling machines—will provide an initial foundation for producing drone airframe components.
Defence Spending Supports Growth Strategy
The company cited recent U.S. policy initiatives as supporting its expansion plans, including Trump Administration Executive Order 14307, which aims to accelerate domestic drone manufacturing.
Quantum Cyber also referenced the U.S. Department of Defense’s proposed FY2027 budget, which includes approximately $55 billion earmarked for drone and autonomous warfare programmes.
Chief Executive Officer David Lazar said:
“100,000 drones per year, from a single facility we own and operate is the target. The Pentagon is looking for attritable systems at scale, and Executive Order 14307 directs domestic production.”
Transaction and Output Remain Subject to Completion
Quantum Cyber noted that the Letter of Intent does not guarantee that a definitive purchase agreement will be signed or that the acquisition will be completed.
The company also emphasized that the projected manufacturing capacity represents management’s current expectations based on the planned facility configuration and should not be interpreted as a binding commitment.
In addition, Quantum Cyber said it has not yet announced any procurement contracts that would support production volumes of up to 100,000 drones per year.
