Subsidiary established to serve as the operational vehicle for the Company's domestic defense technology programs and anticipated participation in U.S. government procurement under the Trump Administration's homeland security and defense modernization priorities.

Quantum Drones Corporation will substantially benefit from the Company's pursuit of opportunities in autonomous drone warfare, advanced drone defense technologies, and next-generation autonomous defense systems.

"We are building the autonomous defense platform of the future. The formation of Quantum Drones Corporation gives us a dedicated, Nevada-domiciled vehicle with the right leadership to pursue U.S. government contracts and advance our goal to capture the significant procurement opportunities the Trump Administration has put on the table," said David Lazar, Chief Executive Officer of Quantum Cyber N.V. "Peter O'Rourke and Bob Liscouski bring exactly the experience, credibility, and strategic perspective required to help advance this effort."

Peter O'Rourke has been appointed President and Director of Quantum Drones Corporation. Mr. O'Rourke is a former Acting Secretary of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs under President Trump and previously served as a U.S. Air Force commissioned officer and U.S. Navy enlisted servicemember aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. He brings extensive experience in federal government administration, SPAC leadership (as Chairman of NVAC on Nasdaq), and board service across multiple Nasdaq-listed companies, including ProFusa.

"The United States is entering a new era of defense modernization where autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and advanced computing will increasingly define strategic advantage," said Peter O'Rourke, President and Director, Quantum Drones Corporation.

"Quantum Drones Corporation is being formed to align these technologies with emerging government priorities and pursue opportunities that support long-term national security objectives."

Robert Liscouski has been appointed Director of Quantum Drones Corporation. Mr. Liscouski brings senior-level experience in defense, intelligence, and critical infrastructure security, with deep relationships across U.S. government defense and national security agencies, as well as being co-founder, CEO, and Chairman of a NASDAQ-listed start-up quantum computing company.

"The convergence of AI, quantum technologies, and autonomous systems represents one of the most significant transformations in defense capability in decades," said Robert Liscouski, Director, Quantum Drones Corporation. "Nations that successfully integrate these technologies into operational capabilities will shape the future security landscape. Quantum Drones Corporation has the opportunity to help advance the next generation of national security and defense capabilities."

Strategic Positioning Within the Trump Administration's Defense Framework

Quantum Drones Corporation will focus on pursuing U.S. government procurement opportunities consistent with the Trump Administration's prioritization of autonomous drone warfare, counter-UAS systems, and next-generation homeland security technologies. The U.S. Department of Defense FY2027 Budget Request includes approximately $55 billion in funding allocated to drone and autonomous warfare programs. The counter-UAS market is projected to grow from $3.1 billion to $10.6 billion by 2030, representing a 27.2% compound annual growth rate (Grand View Research, 2025).

The subsidiary is designed to operate as the domestic defense procurement arm of Quantum Cyber's broader System-of-Systems platform, which integrates artificial intelligence and quantum technologies into drone warfare, counter-UAS, autonomous naval mine countermeasures, EMP shielding, anti-drone ammunition, command-and-control, and quantum antenna applications under a single Nasdaq-listed company.
