Quantum Cyber (Nasdaq: QUCY) has signed an IP License Agreement with BP United to acquire exclusive rights to its autonomous drone technology, including a sky defense platform. This agreement includes a commercial supply arrangement for ready-to-deploy systems capable of autonomous operations over 25 kilometers. The deal comes as the Trump administration seeks to significantly increase funding for drone and autonomous warfare programs, proposing a $55 billion budget for fiscal 2027, a substantial rise from $225 million the previous year. Quantum Cyber aims to integrate these capabilities into a comprehensive defense platform, positioning itself at the forefront of the rapidly evolving defense market.
