June 15, 2026 8:00 AM

Quantum Cyber N.V. (NASDAQ: QUCY) announced it executed a definitive intellectual property license agreement with Project LightShift, Inc. on June 11, 2026. The agreement grants Quantum Cyber exclusive worldwide rights to patent-protected quantum photonic array technology for defense drone applications.



The quantum antenna technology was developed by Wolf Kohn, Chief Scientist of Project LightShift. The system features nano multi-spectrum lenses paired with controllable diode lasers that transmit and receive multi-frequency photonic signals. The lenses operate in a coordinated configuration using principles of Near Field Quantum electrodynamics.



Quantum Cyber plans to integrate the technology into its autonomous defense platform for drone warfare, counter-unmanned aerial systems, and border security applications. The company stated it will file a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the transaction.



"The agreement we executed today is the transaction that makes the quantum layer of our platform real," said David Lazar, Chief Executive Officer of Quantum Cyber. "We have a signed, definitive license agreement, an exclusive position backed by a verified patent chain."



Nadab Akhtar, Chief Executive Officer of Project LightShift, stated the technology provides defense drones with secure, frequency-agile sensing and communications capabilities for contested environments.



The announcement referenced the Trump Administration's request for approximately $55 billion for drone and autonomous warfare programs in the fiscal year 2027 defense budget. The global counter-unmanned aerial systems market is projected to grow from $3.1 billion to $10.6 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research.



Quantum Cyber describes itself as developing an AI-powered autonomous defense platform that integrates multiple defense technologies under a single publicly traded company.
