Quantum Cyber (QUCY) is a tiny company making a big bet on drone warfare. The stock jumped more than 73% on Tuesday after the company announced it signed an exclusive IP License Agreement with BP United Inc., a Miami-based developer of autonomous unmanned vehicle systems.

The deal gives Quantum Cyber exclusive rights to BP United’s drone technology portfolio. That includes a sky defense autonomous platform capable of operating at ranges exceeding 25 kilometers.

The platform is fully autonomous — takeoff, navigation, and landing — and built for surveillance, interdiction, and payload delivery missions. It uses encrypted communications throughout.

BP United is also required under the deal to enter into a commercial supply arrangement for production and delivery of those autonomous systems.

$55 Billion Tailwind

The backdrop to the deal is a dramatic shift in U.S. defense spending. The Trump administration is seeking roughly $55 billion for drone and autonomous warfare programs in the fiscal 2027 budget. That’s up from approximately $225 million the prior year — the largest single-year drone procurement increase in U.S. history.

Quantum Cyber says it is building what it calls a “System-of-Systems” platform — pulling together drone warfare, counter-UAS, autonomous demining, command-and-control, and quantum-accelerated defense applications under one Nasdaq-listed entity.

The company draws on Israeli and Ukrainian battlefield-tested systems and U.S. capital markets access to build out that platform.

A Company With a Lot to Prove

The stock surge comes with important context. QUCY trades at just $0.32 per share with a market cap of around $4 million. The company brought in only $540,000 in revenue over the last twelve months and has been burning through cash.

The stock had actually fallen 87% over the prior year before Tuesday’s pop.

Quantum Cyber was formerly known as Mainz Biomed. It recently rebranded and changed its Nasdaq ticker to QUCY, aligning with its new focus on defense and autonomous systems. The company also recently appointed Robert P. Liscouski as Chairman of its Board.

CEO David Lazar has personally invested $6 million in the company through a private placement, including a recent $3 million tranche.

More announcements are expected. The company says it plans to file additional patent applications and expand its technology stack, including developments in quantum antenna technology.
