## Resource

Quantum Cyber just splashed $2.3 million on a Bridgeport factory—marking a major pivot from licensing tech to building its own AI-driven defense systems right here in the U.S. The company also quietly relocated its HQ to Norwalk, CT, creating a unified domestic operation designed to streamline production and deliver ready-made autonomous drones to government clients. Led by CEO David Lazar and a team with deep ties to VA and DHS, the startup’s rapid shift from cancer diagnostics to defense tech signals a bold, high-stakes gamble in a booming sector.
