Quantum Systems has finalised an investment agreement with Ukrainian defence robotics company Frontline, acquiring a 10% stake with an option to increase this to 25% within the next 12 months. The agreement, announced on 16 July, aims to deepen industrial, technical, and strategic cooperation between the two firms and to strengthen ties within the wider European defence ecosystem.

 

The partnership is already delivering concrete results, with Frontline beginning to integrate a wider range of European-sourced components into its robotic systems, facilitated by Quantum Systems. These enhancements are improving the performance and resilience of Frontline’s technologies in operational environments.

The investment follows the completion of Frontline’s seed funding round, which raised $800,000 from both Ukrainian and international investors including Nezlamni, Startup Wise Guys, Angel One, and Freedom Fund, among others. The funding process spanned around six months, beginning with Frontline’s pitch at Brave1’s Investor Demo Day.

Frontline plans to use the funding to expand its manufacturing capacity and scale the production of critical defence technologies. This includes its multi-rotor reconnaissance drones “Zoom” and “Linza” — often dubbed “Ukrainian Mavics” — as well as a kinetic counter-unmanned aerial system (UAS), all of which are in active demand by military units in Ukraine.

The new agreement reflects confidence in Frontline’s technological strengths and execution capabilities. It also signals a commitment to reinforcing Ukrainian-German cooperation and building a scalable model for cross-border defence industrial integration across Europe.
