Rohde & Schwarz today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Quantum Systems during AFCEA 2026. This strategic agreement marks a significant step toward advancing integrated defense capabilities through the combination of electromagnetic warfare (EW) and counter uncrewed arial systems (C-UAS) expertise and cutting-edge uncrewed systems.
Quantum Systems (quantum-systems.com), a key player in the development of uncrewed and intelligent aerial systems, will collaborate closely with Rohde & Schwarz to explore the integration of the latter's advanced EW solutions into Quantum Systems’ uncrewed platforms (UxV). The partnership also includes the joint development and deployment of C-UAS solutions, addressing the growing need for effective protection against, e.g. uncrewed aerial threats.
Under the terms of this MoU, both companies will work to enhance operational effectiveness by embedding EW capabilities directly into next-generation uncrewed systems. This collaboration aims to provide defense and security forces with robust, adaptable solutions for complex and evolving operational environments.
“This MoU represents an important milestone in our mission to deliver innovative EW solutions,” said Alexander Philipp, Managing Director, Rohde & Schwarz Vertriebs-GmbH. “By partnering with Quantum Systems, we are combining complementary strengths to create powerful, future-ready capabilities for our customers.”
"The requirements of modern armed forces are changing at a rapid pace. Today, the key is the ability to quickly transfer proven technologies onto new platforms and make them immediately usable. Together with Rohde & Schwarz we are creating a German solution for uncrewed signals intelligence in the air and electronic protection systems on the ground, thereby deliberately expanding capabilities on the battlefield," said Martin Karkour, Chief Revenue Officer of Quantum Systems.
The agreement underscores both companies’ commitment to innovation, collaboration, and strengthening technological leadership in the defense sector.
