Koblenz, 11 March 2026 – The newly announced partnership combines Quantum Systems’ operationally validated autonomy and teleoperation expertise with Daimler Truck’s proven vehicle platforms and industrial integration capabilities. The objective is to deliver scalable, interoperable logistics solutions for modern military operations.
Quantum Systems’ MOSAIC Ground Autonomy Kit will enable automated and teleoperated driving functions, and integrate into the MOSAIC UXS software suite, which orchestrates manned and unmanned systems within existing command-and-control structures through a single interface. Daimler Truck provides the base vehicle platforms and supports the integration of Quantum Systems’ MOSAIC Ground Autonomy Kit into military truck architectures.
“Autonomy in military logistics is about multiplying operational capability for modern armed forces,” said Hendrik Kramer, Vice President Ground Domain at Quantum Systems.“By combining proven vehicle platforms with our operationally validated Autonomy Kit, we are enabling armed forces to move supplies in contested environments with fewer personnel, greater resilience, and full integration into existing command structures.”
Introducing the MOSAIC Ground Autonomy Kit
The Quantum Systems MOSAIC Ground Autonomy Kit follows a clear but always ambitious roadmap of what is technically feasible, as leader-follower operations, in which one driven vehicle guides multiple unmanned trucks. This first step in the direction of autonomous trucking addresses personnel shortages while increasing logistical throughput. Additionally, the MOSAIC Ground Autonomy Kit already allows teleoperated driving, allowing vehicles to operate in high-risk zones while personnel remain at a safe distance. The focus is not automation for its own sake, but on operational relevance and the protection of human life in contested environments, enabled by a robust sensor and software architecture.
Designed as a platform-based solution, the MOSAIC Ground Autonomy Kit can be integrated into diverse vehicle fleets and is not limited to a single manufacturer. Its retrofit capability enables scalable deployment across existing platforms, allowing armed forces to incrementally introduce autonomous functions into their logistics operations.
Strengthening European Technological Sovereignty
Beyond its technological dimension, the partnership carries strategic significance for Germany and Europe. By combining a European vehicle platform with European autonomy expertise, the collaboration strengthens key competencies in autonomy, unmanned systems, and AI within Europe while reducing technological dependencies, and supports the development of resilient, sovereign supply chains for security-critical capabilities.
Daniel Zittel, Head of Defence Sales, Daimler Truck AG: “By integrating our vehicles into MOSAIC, we will be able to seamlessly connect them with other ground-based systems and unmanned aerial systems in the future. We are continuing to develop our trucks into semi-autonomous and unmanned vehicle platforms.“
With the launch of the MOSAIC Ground Autonomy Kit, Quantum Systems further positions itself as a system integrator in the unmanned ground domain, extending its autonomy expertise beyond aerial systems and reinforcing its industrial depth through cooperation with established European manufacturers. The partnership reflects a shared commitment to delivering practical, scalable solutions that respond to the evolving logistical and operational realities of modern armed forces.
