Reconnaissance drone Vector: Quantum Systems takes third place at "Army of Drones 2025" in Ukraine

Quantum Systems has only been on the Brave1 Marketplace for a few months, and now it has scored a success in Ukraine: at the "Army of Drones 2025" event, the German company took third place for its Vector reconnaissance drone in the Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) category.

The selection was made directly by Ukrainian frontline units. Only systems that had already proven themselves in active combat were eligible.

How Brave1 rates the reconnaissance drone

The ranking is based on the Brave1 Marketplace. On this state-initiated procurement platform, units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces choose systems themselves; decisions are made via so-called e-points, which frontline units allocate according to their operational experience. Quantum Systems has been listed on the marketplace since August 2025. Since then, Ukrainian units have procured an undisclosed number of Vector systems directly, delivered from local production sites in Ukraine.

This award reflects our growing localisation in Ukraine since 2022 – but above all our close cooperation with Ukrainian crews and operators. Their direct feedback from frontline use continuously feeds into the further development of our systems and ensures that they meet real operational requirements.— Oleksandr Berezhny, Managing Director of Quantum Systems Ukraine, on the importance of close cooperation with the armed forces

Among Western drone manufacturers, Quantum Systems is one of the few that do not merely supply ISR systems: the company continuously develops them further together with the Ukrainian Armed Forces under real combat conditions.
