Overview
- Quantum Cyber, which announced the plan on June 11, 2026, said it will establish an Advanced Filament Manufacturing Division tied to a planned acquisition of a Connecticut manufacturing complex.
- The company filed a non‑provisional patent application for its EMP‑shielding filament called Formula A on May 19, 2026, and the application remains pending with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
- Formula A is described as a PETG polymer composite blended with aluminum flake, carbonyl iron powder, carbon black, and milled carbon fiber that the company says yields 35–55 dB of shielding from 10 kHz to 10 GHz measured to ASTM D4935 standards.
- Quantum Cyber plans an 80‑unit 3D‑printer drone production farm to provide captive demand for the filament, but the facility acquisition, printer buildout, commercial sales and patent grant are all contingent and subject to the company’s forward‑looking risk disclosures.
- The company frames the shift to in‑house filament production as a vertical integration move to control costs and IP and to qualify as a domestic supplier for U.S. defense drone programs in the FY2027 procurement environment.
