German Quantum Systems Completes All-Unmanned Forward Edge 26 Exercise Across Air, Land and Sea

Germany’s Quantum Systems completed the two-week Forward Edge 26 exercise, coordinating unmanned air, ground and maritime platforms and counter-drone equipment from its own portfolio and nine industry partners. Four scenarios covered defensive surveillance, convoy protection, coastal and port security, and route clearance, with the MOSAIC UXS software suite acting as the common command layer across different manufacturers. The company also reported remote operation of platforms located in Ukraine, the United States and Australia during the event. Forward Edge 26 was a company-run demonstration involving simulated threats, and no independent assessment, comprehensive system count or measured engagement results were released.
