Airbus SE and Blackstone are joining a €600 million funding round for German drone manufacturer Quantum Systems.
Bloomberg News reported the investment, which underscores Airbus's strategic focus on unmanned aerial systems and defense technology.
Quantum Systems develops AI-powered aerial intelligence for commercial and governmental clients.
Airbus previously backed the company through its venture capital arm, Airbus Ventures.
