Tron Series
The Tron was the first electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) fixed-wing unmanned aerial system (UAS) developed by Quantum-Systems. It served as the foundational platform for subsequent developments within the company. The Tron can carry payloads and sensors weighting up to 2 kg. This model was discontinued in December 2020.

The Trinity's first prototype had its maiden flight in 2016, with serial production beginning in 2018. The model is equipped with three VTOL transition tilt-rotors and a modular payload system, allowing it to carry up to 700 grams. The fuselage is made from a foamed material to enhance durability.
Vector & Scorpion Series

The Vector & Scorpion series is a 2-in-1 system that began serial production in 2020. The Vector is constructed from carbon-fiber-reinforced material, providing resilience in various weather conditions. The Scorpion is a short-range tricopter designed for endurance. Both UAS share the same fuselage.
In September 2020, Quantum-Systems partnered with Auterion to introduce the Vector, a tactical drone designed for portability and field deployment.
