YPOG advises Quantum Systems on the acquisition of AirRobot

Reading time: 1 minute

Hamburg, March 21, 2025 - YPOG has advised Quantum Systems, a global leader in AI-powered unmanned aerial vehicles (aka drones), on the acquisition of AirRobot GmbH & Co. KG. Through this acquisition, Quantum Systems expands its portfolio in drone technology and ensures the continuous supply of essential capabilities to the German Armed Forces. AirRobot had been part of the Nordic Unmanned Group since 2021.

By integrating AirRobot, Quantum Systems strengthens its position in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles. In addition to its established fixed-wing drones, Quantum Systems is expanding its offering with advanced copter drones, which are particularly suited for smaller scale, dynamic military and security applications.

Despite being integrated into the Quantum Systems Group, AirRobot will remain as an independent brand, and the Arnsberg location will continue to serve as a development and production center. The acquisition represents another step in Quantum Systems' long-term growth strategy, enhancing its market presence through technological diversification and strategic partnerships.

The merger of the two companies creates a strong foundation for future developments in drone technology. Quantum Systems plans to further expand its leadership in innovation through continuous investments in research and development for hardware, software and AI, as well as the expansion of international collaborations.
