Quantum Cyber Introduces PHANTOM-950 Long-Range Autonomous UAS Platform in Development

WEST PALM BEACH, Florida, July 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Quantum Cyber N.V. (NASDAQ:QUCY) ("Quantum Cyber" or the "Company"), a Nasdaq-listed autonomous defense technology company assembling an AI-powered System-of-Systems platform for drone warfare, counter-UAS, and border security applications, today introduced the PHANTOM-950, a long-range autonomous unmanned aerial system ("UAS") platform the Company is developing as a modular design intended to support government and defense customers across logistics, surveillance, communications relay, electronic warfare, humanitarian support, and other mission-specific applications.

The PHANTOM-950 is intended to expand Quantum Cyber’s growing autonomous systems portfolio by introducing a platform designed for extended-range operations, built around a blended-wing airframe, a multi-stage propulsion architecture, and a configurable payload bay. The Company believes the platform, if developed as intended, would complement its broader System-of-Systems strategy by adding an aircraft designed for missions requiring long endurance, autonomous operation, and modular payload flexibility.

Platform Overview

According to internal design specifications, the PHANTOM-950 is being designed for missions of up to 950 kilometers, depending on configuration, with a targeted operating altitude of up to 18,000 meters, a targeted payload capacity of up to 10 kilograms, autonomous navigation and precision landing capability, and support for either reusable or one-way mission configurations. The modular payload architecture is intended to accommodate a broad range of government and commercial mission requirements, including logistics, humanitarian assistance, communications relay, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, environmental monitoring, and other customer-specific payloads.

As designed, the PHANTOM-950 would incorporate a blended-wing airframe together with a multi-stage propulsion system intended to support launch, cruise, and terminal flight operations. The platform is being designed around a modular philosophy intended to allow customers to configure payloads according to operational requirements rather than limiting the aircraft to a single mission profile.

Quantum Cyber intends to manufacture the PHANTOM-950 through its domestic manufacturing operations following completion of its previously announced manufacturing facility acquisition and production build-out. The Company believes that, if established, in-house manufacturing would support quality control, supply chain resilience, and future production scalability.

The introduction of the PHANTOM-950 follows several strategic initiatives announced by the Company in recent months, including expansion of its domestic manufacturing capabilities, development of the Quantum Station command-and-control platform, advancement of proprietary propulsion technologies, and continued growth of its autonomous systems portfolio.

"PHANTOM-950 represents another step in the evolution of our autonomous platform portfolio," said David Lazar, Chief Executive Officer of Quantum Cyber. "Our objective is to develop modular systems capable of supporting a wide variety of government and commercial missions while leveraging the manufacturing capabilities we are building in the United States."

Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "estimate," "plan," "intend," "outlook," "project," "designed to," and other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters. Such forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the design, capabilities, specifications, and performance of the PHANTOM-950, including its projected range, operating altitude, payload capacity, propulsion architecture, and autonomous navigation and precision landing functionality; the Company’s intention and ability to design, develop, test, and manufacture the PHANTOM-950; the Company’s intention and ability to manufacture the PHANTOM-950 through its domestic manufacturing operations; the completion of the Company’s previously announced manufacturing facility acquisition and production build-out; the suitability of the platform for logistics, ISR, communications relay, electronic warfare, humanitarian, government, commercial, and other mission profiles; the integration of the PHANTOM-950 within the Company’s broader System-of-Systems strategy; and the Company’s ability to pursue and secure government, defense, and commercial customers. The PHANTOM-950 is a platform in development, is a concept in the design stage, no prototype has been built or tested, and the stated specifications in the press release are design objectives which reflect internal design targets that have not been independently validated and may differ materially from the performance of any aircraft ultimately produced, if any. The visual shown in the press release is a computer-generated conceptual rendering prepared for illustrative purposes. It does not depict an existing production aircraft or prototype and should not be interpreted as evidence of completed development, manufacturing status, testing, or commercial availability. Actual product configuration, capabilities, appearance, and specifications may change as development progresses. The Company’s ability to manufacture the platform is dependent on the completion of its previously announced facility acquisition and production build-out, which may not be completed on the expected terms, timeline, or at all. The Company has not entered into any customer contracts for the PHANTOM-950, and there can be no assurance that it will do so.

These forward-looking statements reflect the current analysis of existing information and are subject to various risks and uncertainties. As a result, caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Due to known and unknown risks, actual results may differ materially from the Company’s expectations or projections. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements: (i) the failure to complete design, development, testing, or manufacturing of the PHANTOM-950 on acceptable terms, on the expected timeline, or at all; (ii) the failure to meet projected performance, development, production, or financial targets; (iii) the failure to complete the previously announced manufacturing facility acquisition and production build-out; (iv) changes in applicable laws or regulations, including export controls and defense procurement requirements; (v) an inability to successfully pursue the Company’s new initiatives or to secure government, defense, or commercial customers; and (vi) other risks and uncertainties discussed from time to time in other reports and public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") by the Company.
