Quantum Systems, a German leader in intelligent unmanned systems, and ADV Defense UAB, part of Teltonica IoT Group, formalised collaboration to deepen German‑Lithuanian defence industrial ties. The MoU signals targeted cooperation on localisation, joint research and capability development for UAS and associated technologies. Both parties position the partnership as a response to strategic requirements on NATO’s Eastern Flank: improving readiness, ensuring maintainable supply chains and accelerating delivery of mission‑proven systems for units such as the German Combat Brigade stationed in Lithuania.
