Quantum Cyber N.V.

(NASDAQ:QUCY) said Thursday it plans to launch an Advanced Filament Manufacturing Division at its Connecticut defense technology complex as part of its strategy to become a vertically integrated defense manufacturer.

The new division will supply proprietary 3D-printing materials for the company's planned 80-printer drone production farm.

It will also generate revenue through external sales of its patented EMP-hardened composite filament to defense customers.

Quantum Cyber said producing filament in-house will reduce sourcing costs, protect proprietary formulations and create a new profit center.
