Quantum Cyber N.V. Files Provisional Patent with USPTO for Quantum Drone Autonomous System Quantum Cyber N.V. had announced the filing of a provisional patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its Quantum Drone Autonomous System (QDAS). The application, assigned USPTO Application No. 64/069,586 and filed May 19, 2026, covers a novel multi-layer architecture combining quantum-sensor-fused GPS-denied navigation, sentinel drone rotation protocols, aerial LIDAR pathfinding, and an integrated 12-drone swarm interceptor defense system deployed from an autonomous amphibious ground vehicle platform. The patented architecture centers on a Quantum Sensing Navigation Core (QSNC) aboard a sentinel UAV, incorporating a miniaturized quantum magnetometer and quantum inertial navigation unit (QINU) to generate GPS-independent position, navigation, and timing (PNT) data with accuracy exceeding conventional inertial navigation by more than one order of magnitude. A Quantum Reference Beacon Protocol (QRBP) then transmits that quantum-derived PNT solution as an encrypted position reference to the host autonomous ground vehicle and to a swarm of up to 12 subordinate interceptor micro-drones simultaneously, enabling quantum-accurate coordinated navigation of an entire unmanned fleet from a single airborne quantum sensor platform. The QDAS patent further claims a Two-Sentinel Continuous Coverage System (TSCS), a rotation handoff algorithm ensuring zero temporal gap in airborne quantum PNT beacon coverage as sentinel drones alternate between active deployment and fast-charge docking aboard the host ground vehicle. The system also incorporates a Sentinel LIDAR Pathfinding Loop that transmits real-time 3D terrain mesh from the airborne sentinel to the ground vehicle navigation stack for AI-computed optimal path planning. The Integrated Swarm Interceptor Defense Architecture (ISIDA) deploys 12 dual-role micro-drones from hull-embedded launch cells: six anti-air kinetic interceptors and six anti-ground loiter munitions, coordinated via QRBP quantum navigation under autonomous threat classification and intercept assignment. An Adaptive Hydrodynamic CTIS System rounds out the architecture with closed-loop tire pressure optimization for amphibious operations.

Quantum Cyber N.V. Files Provisional Patent For Quantum-Navigated Amphibious Autonomous Ground Vehicle Platform Quantum Cyber N.V. assembled an AI-powered System-of-Systems platform and filed a provisional patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its SCOUT-AX6 GUARDIAN: a quantum-navigated, amphibious, remote-controlled autonomous ground vehicle designed for multi-domain defense operations across land and water in GPS-denied environments. The provisional application, docket number QDI-2026-QDAS-001, was filed in May 2026. The sole inventor is Jacob Gitman, with Quantum Drone Inc. named as assignee. The Company has 12 months from the filing date to file a corresponding non-provisional application to establish full patent rights. The SCOUT-AX6 GUARDIAN is a 6x6 all-wheel in-hub electric amphibious remote-controlled platform engineered for autonomous multi-domain military operations. The vehicle carries a 200 kg payload, achieves 80 km/h on land and 6-8 km/h in water via wheel-paddle amphibious propulsion, and operates for up to 200 km per mission. Its hull is constructed from 6061-T6 aluminium with UHMWPE belly armor and is rated IP68 for full amphibious operations with no external jets or watercraft modifications required. The platform's defining innovation is its Quantum Sensing Navigation Core (QSNC): a miniaturized quantum magnetometer and quantum inertial navigation unit (QINU) mounted aboard an airborne sentinel UAV that operates as a persistent overhead navigation beacon for the ground vehicle. The sentinel continuously broadcasts a quantum-derived, GPS-independent position reference to the SCOUT-AX6 via the Quantum Reference Beacon Protocol (QRBP), achieving navigation accuracy below 10 meters RMS in fully GPS-denied environments — more than an order of magnitude better than conventional inertial navigation systems. All data links use post-quantum encryption standardized by NIST (CRYSTALS-Kyber), making the communications architecture resistant to both classical and quantum-based cyber attack. A novel Two-Sentinel Continuous Coverage System (TSCS) ensures zero-gap navigation availability: one sentinel UAV is always airborne as the active quantum beacon while a second charges aboard the vehicle's docking port, with an automated handoff algorithm maintaining uninterrupted position reference during transitions. The airborne sentinel additionally provides real-time aerial LIDAR terrain mapping, transmitting 3D path data to the vehicle's autonomous navigation stack for AI-computed route optimization in complex and obstacle-dense environments. The platform also incorporates a patented Adaptive Hydrodynamic Central Tire Inflation System (AH-CTIS), which uses in-wheel motor torque telemetry as a real-time proxy for paddle hydrodynamic efficiency, automatically optimizing tire pressure during amphibious operations to maximize swim speed per unit of power. The SCOUT-AX6 GUARDIAN directly addresses priority areas established by the Trump Administration across defense and homeland security policy. The U.S. Department of Defense Fiscal year 2027 Budget Request allocates approximately $55 billion toward drone and autonomous warfare capabilities, with GPS-resilient navigation identified as a critical operational requirement following documented GPS jamming and spoofing in active theaters in Ukraine and the Middle East. The SCOUT-AX6 GUARDIAN's quantum navigation architecture operates entirely passively, relying on no external radio frequency signals, making it immune to jamming, spoofing, and signal denial in contested environments. The platform's post-quantum encrypted communications align with the Trump Administration's National Cybersecurity Strategy directive to accelerate adoption of post-quantum cryptographic standards across national security systems. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have further identified GPS signal integrity and resilient autonomous navigation as critical infrastructure protection priorities -- requirements the SCOUT-AX6 GUARDIAN is engineered to meet. The vehicle's amphibious capability addresses a documented gap in U.S. autonomous defense platforms, which have historically been limited to single-domain (land or maritime) operations. The SCOUT-AX6 GUARDIAN operates across both domains without reconfiguration, enabling applications in border security, port defense, littoral zone operations, and rapid logistics resupply to forward positions -- all operational contexts prioritized under current DHS and DoD homeland security frameworks.

Quantum Cyber N.V. Files Non-Provisional Patent Application For Emp-Shielding 3D-Printable Composite Filament For Drone And Defense Electronics Quantum Cyber N.V. filed a non-provisional utility patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for an Electromagnetic Pulse Shielding Composite Filament for Fused Deposition Modeling and Method of Manufacture Thereof. The patent application describes a multi-component composite thermoplastic filament formulated for use in standard fused deposition modeling (FDM) three-dimensional printers. The filament, composed of a PETG polymer matrix combined with aluminum flake, carbonyl iron powder, carbon black, and milled carbon fiber, produces 3D-printed drone enclosures that achieve broadband shielding effectiveness of 35 to 55 dB across the full frequency range of 10 kHz to 10 GHz, as measured per ASTM D4935. Unlike metallic Faraday enclosures or conductive gaskets that impose weight and manufacturing complexity penalties incompatible with modern UAV size, weight, and power constraints, the Company's filament is designed for use with commercially available desktop FDM printers, enabling on-demand production of EMP-hardened drone enclosures and electronics housings at the unit level. Electromagnetic pulse attacks represent one of the most consequential unsolved problems in autonomous drone warfare. A single EMP event -- whether generated by a high-altitude nuclear detonation, a non-nuclear electromagnetic device, or a high-power microwave weapon -- can simultaneously destroy the semiconductor components and flight control systems of an entire drone swarm. No publicly listed drone defense company, including platforms the Company monitors as market comparables, currently offers a fielded EMP-hardening solution at the drone enclosure level. Quantum Cyber believes this patent application establishes its first-mover position in EMP hardening for autonomous systems, a capability layer that management views as essential infrastructure for any serious drone defense platform. The Company intends to integrate this technology across its developing System-of-Systems portfolio. Announcement • May 20
Quantum Cyber N.V. Files Patent Application for Autonomous Naval Mine Countermeasure System Quantum Cyber N.V. filed a provisional patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for an Autonomous Distributed Naval Mine Countermeasure System. The filing, numbered 64/066-872, establishes a priority date for the Company's proprietary technology for autonomous detection and neutralization of underwater naval mines using unmanned aerial vehicle-deployed sensor and neutralization platforms. The technology is directly relevant to an active and publicly documented military crisis. U.S. Central Command has confirmed that Iran has laid naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz following the outbreak of the 2026 Iran war. The Pentagon has issued navigational warnings describing the strait as "extremely hazardous due to the presence of mines that have not been fully surveyed and mitigated," and has directed commercial vessels to alternate routing through Omani territorial waters. The U.S. Navy's legacy mine countermeasure assets, including Avenger-class minesweepers and Littoral Combat Ships with MCM mission packages, are currently stretched across the theater, with several units having departed the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility for scheduled maintenance. Quantum Cyber's patented system addresses this documented capability gap through a fully autonomous, UAV-based architecture requiring no personnel in the water. The system deploys semi-submerged survey pods from an unmanned aerial vehicle into the target area. Each survey pod conducts multibeam sonar scanning, magnetometer sensing, and hydrophone acoustic array analysis to detect and classify underwater mines with a probability of identification exceeding 85% in testing. A tethered UAV communications relay maintains persistent command and control connectivity between the survey pods and the ground control station throughout the operation. Upon target confirmation, the deployment UAV retrieves survey pods and deploys expendable influence-neutralization pods near confirmed mine locations. Each neutralization pod generates programmable acoustic signatures, three-axis magnetic field waveforms, and optional pressure impulse charges calibrated to trigger the influence fuzes of the targeted mines, achieving selective neutralization without collateral damage to surrounding infrastructure or vessels. The filing advances Quantum Cyber's growing patent portfolio, which now includes a provisional application for the autonomous naval mine countermeasure system and a non-provisional utility patent application for an EMP-shielding composite filament for UAV and UAS electronics protection. The Company's broader technology pipeline encompasses autonomous drone warfare platforms, counter-UAS perimeter defense systems, portable drone command and control systems, and quantum antenna communications technology currently in development, all assembled under a single System-of-Systems platform architecture. The Strait of Hormuz carries approximately 20% of global oil supply and one-third of the world's liquefied natural gas trade. The Iranian mining of the strait has contributed to significant disruption to global energy markets and maritime commerce. The Trump administration is separately seeking approximately $55 billion for drone and autonomous warfare programs in the fiscal 2027 defense budget, the largest single-year autonomous warfare allocation in U.S. history, as military doctrine shifts toward AI-enabled unmanned systems for precisely these types of maritime and asymmetric threat environments.
