WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, May 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quantum Cyber N.V. (NASDAQ:QUCY), a Nasdaq-listed autonomous defense technology company assembling an AI-powered System-of-Systems platform for drone warfare, counter-UAS, and border security applications, today announced that the Company will participate as an exhibitor at Special Operations Forces Week (SOF Week) 2026, taking place May 18-21, 2026, at the Tampa Convention Center in Tampa, Florida.

SOF Week is the premier annual convention for the global Special Operations Forces community, co-hosted by U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) and the Global SOF Foundation. The event convenes senior military leaders, defense procurement officials, allied nations delegations, and leading defense technology companies to advance capability development across the special operations enterprise.

Quantum Cyber will present the autonomous unmanned aerial vehicle, a multi-mission UAV platform capable of surveillance, interdiction, and payload delivery operations at extended range. The vehicle features a 25km+ operational range, encrypted communications, autonomous takeoff and landing, and multi-payload mission reconfigurability, capabilities directly aligned with the persistent ISR, force protection, and rapid strike requirements of the global SOF community.

"SOF Week is where the special operations community identifies the next generation of technologies it will carry into the field," said David Lazar, CEO of Quantum Cyber. "We are bringing autonomous drone capability directly to USSOCOM and its global partners."

The Company's participation at SOF Week advances Quantum Cyber's strategy of building direct relationships with U.S. and allied defense procurement stakeholders as it assembles its System-of-Systems autonomous defense platform. Quantum Cyber's technology pipeline, which spans autonomous UAVs, counter-UAS systems, mechanically fragmenting anti-drone ammunition, autonomous naval mine countermeasures, and EMP-shielding composite materials, is designed with the goal to address the multi-domain, contested-environment missions that define the modern special operations theater.
