WEST PALM BEACH, Florida, July 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quantum Cyber N.V. ( 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 announced projected production capacity targets for its proposed Bridgeport, Connecticut manufacturing facility, including an estimated annual output of approximately 100,000 drones upon completion of the facility and full operational modification and buildout.

The production capacity targets are based on the Company’s current assessment of the facility’s manufacturing footprint and the planned configuration of dedicated drone assembly lines within the facility. As previously reported, on June 8, 2026, Quantum Drones Corporation signed a Letter of Intent to acquire the facility, including its installed industrial equipment, at 38 Union Avenue, Bridgeport, Connecticut from Arcade Technology LLC for an aggregate purchase price of $3,200,000. The aggregate purchase price reflects the combined value of the real property and an extensive installed industrial equipment package, including CNC machining centers, overhead crane systems, and compressed air infrastructure already in place at the facility. The facility encompasses approximately 50,000 square feet of above-grade manufacturing and operational space across multiple structures, including a primary manufacturing building with approximately 20,780 square feet on the production floor, approximately 9,576 square feet of upper-floor capacity, and approximately 2,552 square feet of office space, supported by ancillary structures and totaling approximately 9,977 square feet.

The Company's manufacturing model for the facility contemplates multiple concurrent automated assembly lines configured for separate product categories: a dedicated production run for kamikaze one-way attack drone platforms, and a separate line configuration for autonomous interceptor systems. The facility's existing industrial infrastructure, including 3D printers, CNC machining centers, stamping presses, lathes, milling machines, and surface grinders, provides additional foundational fabrication capability for drone airframe components, structural assemblies, and hardware production. The current planned buildout of this infrastructure is anticipated to reduce external supply chain dependency and accelerate production scaling in response to contract awards and procurement volume.

The Company believes that the planned facility would position it to serve the domestic drone supply chain that U.S. policy is now actively building. Trump Administration Executive Order 14307 establishes American drone dominance as an explicit national security and industrial priority, directing the acceleration of domestic production capacity and expanded export of U.S.-made systems. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Defense FY2027 Budget Request includes approximately $55 billion allocated toward drone and autonomous warfare programs, with the attritable drone doctrine, defined as low-cost modular platforms deployable at scale, identified as central to the Pentagon's operational posture. A domestic manufacturing facility with a targeted annual production capacity of 100,000 units across two platform categories is intended to help position Quantum Cyber ( QUCY ) within that supply chain.

"100,000 drones per year, from a single facility we own and operate is the target," said David Lazar, Chief Executive Officer of Quantum Cyber N.V. ( QUCY ) "The Pentagon is looking for attritable systems at scale, and Executive Order 14307 directs domestic production. We believe we are building the manufacturing infrastructure to deliver both. Bridgeport is not a concept. It is a production address."
