Rohde & Schwarz and Quantum Systems have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly integrate advanced electronic warfare capabilities (EW) and counter-uncrewed aerial systems (C-UAS) solutions into uncrewed systems.

Rohde & Schwarz and Quantum Systems have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly integrate advanced electronic warfare capabilities (EW) and counter-uncrewed aerial systems (C-UAS) solutions into uncrewed systems.

This strategic agreement marks a significant step towards advancing integrated defence capabilities through the combination of electromagnetic warfare and counter-uncrewed aerial systems expertise and artificial intelligence-driven uncrewed systems.

Quantum Systems, 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.

 
 

The partnership also includes the joint development and deployment of C-UAS solutions, addressing the growing need for effective protection against uncrewed aerial threats.

“This MOU represents an important milestone in our mission to deliver innovative EW solutions,” said Rohde & Schwarz Vertriebs-GmbH managing director Alexander Philipp.

“By partnering with Quantum Systems, we are combining complementary strengths to create powerful, future-ready capabilities for our customers.”

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 defence and security forces with robust, adaptable solutions for complex and evolving operational environments.

“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,” Quantum Systems chief revenue officer Martin Karkour said.

“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.”
