German defence technology company Quantum Systems said on Thursday it had raised $1.2 billion in fresh funding, valuing the drone maker at about $8 billion and marking one of the largest private investment rounds to date in a European defence technology company.
The valuation is roughly eight times higher than a year ago.
The Munich-based company said the funding round was backed by international investors.
The financing reflects the rapid transformation of Europe's defence sector over the past two years, as investors increasingly back drone, software and autonomous systems companies, co-CEO Sven Kruck said.
