Airbus and Quantum Systems to cooperate on integration of counter UAS interceptors on military helicopters

Berlin, Germany, 10 June 2026 – Airbus Helicopters and Quantum Systems have signed a cooperation agreement at ILA Berlin 2026 to jointly explore the integration of advanced counter-UAS (C-UAS) interceptors of Quantum Systems capabilities onto Airbus’ military helicopters, beginning with the multi-role H145M. This strategic partnership builds upon a shared commitment to enhancing Europe's defence ecosystem and providing armed forces with agile, combat-ready solutions to counter modern, asymmetric airborne threats.

“At Airbus Helicopters, we are constantly exploring new frontiers in mission capabilities to bring real, decisive value to our customers. This agreement with Quantum Systems marks a crucial step forward in further expanding the operational spectrum of our military helicopters, ensuring that crews can effectively control the airspace against uncrewed threats. The H145M, with its advanced open system architecture and exceptional growth potential, serves as the ideal launching pad for this joint initiative. By combining our broad military helicopter portfolio with innovative C-UAS solutions, we are protecting personnel and assets as well as reinforcing European technological sovereignty and defence capabilities,” said Stefan Thomé, Executive Vice President Programmes at Airbus Helicopters.

"This cooperation demonstrates how Europe's defence industry can combine complementary strengths to address emerging operational challenges. Together, Airbus and Quantum Systems are advancing the integration of crewed and uncrewed capabilities to build a more resilient and effective defence ecosystem. As a deep-tech prime for the unmanned era, our ambition is to support armed forces to gain a decisive technological advantage against increasingly sophisticated airborne threats. Current developments show that aerial systems need answers to drone threats," said Martin Karkour, Chief Revenue Office at Quantum Systems.

Airbus Helicopters has introduced an uncrewed version of the H145 family of helicopters, the U145, at ILA Berlin. On Airbus’ static display the U145 mockup already features Quantum Systems’ advanced C-UAS solution.
