Quantum Systems and Tencore Launch Joint Production of 2,000 TerMIT UGVs in Germany
Quantum Tencore Industries (QTI), the second German-Ukrainian joint venture under the 'Build with Ukraine' initiative, has announced plans to co-produce 2,000 TerMIT Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) in Germany. The partnership combines Tencore's combat-proven UGV technology with Quantum Systems' advanced German manufacturing capabilities, marking a significant step in European defence-tech integration.
Highlights
- Quantum Tencore Industries (QTI) — a joint venture between Germany's Quantum Systems and Ukraine's Tencore — will produce 2,000 TerMIT UGVs in Germany.
- QTI is the second German-Ukrainian joint venture established under the 'Build with Ukraine' initiative, which pairs Ukrainian combat-proven technology with German manufacturing.
- The TerMIT UGV, developed by Tencore, supports reconnaissance, logistics, and battlefield support missions via a modular, high-mobility design.
- The programme is intended to secure a stable UGV supply for European allied nations and reduce dependence on non-European defence supply chains.
- Rising global demand for unmanned systems, driven by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, positions the QTI production programme as a key reference case for future European defence procurement.
Quantum Systems and Tencore Launch Joint Production of 2,000 TerMIT UGVs in Germany
Quantum Tencore Industries (QTI) — the second German-Ukrainian joint venture established under the 'Build with Ukraine' initiative — has announced plans to co-produce 2,000 TerMIT Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) on German soil, marking a significant milestone in European defence technology cooperation.
Partnership Background
QTI was jointly founded by Quantum Systems, a leading German drone manufacturer, and Tencore, a Ukrainian defence technology company. The venture is the latest project launched under the 'Build with Ukraine' framework, which aims to combine Ukraine's extensive combat-proven experience in unmanned systems development with Germany's advanced manufacturing capabilities, establishing a resilient defence supply chain within Europe.
The TerMIT UGV
The TerMIT UGV is an unmanned ground combat platform developed by Tencore, featuring high mobility and a modular, multi-mission design capable of performing reconnaissance, logistics support, and battlefield assistance roles. The planned production run of 2,000 units in Germany will significantly boost the platform's supply capacity and ensure allied nations in Europe have access to a stable equipment source.
Industry Significance
This joint venture model reflects an emerging trend in European defence industry integration — combining Eastern Europe's battle-tested technologies with Western Europe's precision manufacturing infrastructure. The arrangement not only helps Ukrainian defence technology firms enter international markets, but also reinforces Germany's position as a key hub for unmanned systems production on the continent.
As the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict continues to drive rapid growth in global demand for unmanned systems, the establishment of QTI and the mass production programme for the TerMIT UGV are expected to become an important reference case for European defence procurement.
