Under the agreement, the companies will connect Daimler Truck vehicles with Quantum Systems’ MOSAIC software platform. The system integrates information from air and ground systems to provide a unified operational picture during missions.
Daimler Truck is currently demonstrating a Mercedes-Benz Arocs truck integrated into the MOSAIC system at the Log.Net 2026 military specialist conference in Koblenz. The integration is intended to enhance situational awareness and improve the protection of personnel involved in defence operations.
Daniel Zittel, Head of Defence Sales at Daimler Truck AG, said the cooperation enables closer networking between vehicles and unmanned systems. “By integrating our vehicles into MOSAIC, we will be able to seamlessly network them with other ground-based systems and unmanned aerial systems.”
He added that the company also aims to expand the capabilities of its military vehicle platforms. “At the same time, we are developing our trucks into partially autonomous and unmanned vehicle platforms.”
Daimler Truck said the partnership forms part of its broader defence strategy based on cooperation with specialised technology partners. The company intends to combine its large-scale manufacturing capabilities with the technological expertise of innovative defence firms and start-ups.
As one of the world’s largest manufacturers of commercial vehicles, Daimler Truck can produce military vehicle solutions at industrial scale. The company expects that future unmanned vehicle platforms will also be produced with similar scalability.
According to Daimler Truck, collaboration with technology partners is essential to rapidly integrate new capabilities into military vehicles. Such partnerships allow advanced technologies to be introduced efficiently while maintaining reliability in operational environments.
The cooperation with Quantum Systems also carries strategic importance beyond the immediate technological collaboration. The partnership is intended to strengthen Europe’s capabilities in areas such as automotive engineering, autonomy and artificial intelligence.
Daimler Truck said these technologies are becoming increasingly important for defence applications. The companies aim to contribute to reducing technological dependencies and strengthening resilient supply chains for security-related manufacturing and capabilities.
