Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - August 21, 2026) - SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc. (CSE:QBTQ) (OTCQB: QBTQF) (FSE: 25X) ("SuperQ Quantum", "SuperQ", or the "Company"),  a leader in hybrid quantum-classical orchestration and advanced  optimization, is pleased to announce that it is conducting a live  operational field demonstration today at the Bush Combat Development  Complex (BCDC) at Texas A&M University's RELLIS Campus in  Bryan-College Station, Texas. Organized through the Canada Q-Branch Dual-Use Accelerator and funded with strategic support from Global Affairs Canada, SuperQ has been selected as the only Canadian technology company deployed in these live operational demonstration exercises.

The  operational exercise brings together key defence stakeholders,  including command personnel from the US Armed Forces, leadership from US  Intelligence Community (IC) agencies, tier-one defence primes, and  institutional dual-use technology investors.

Live Field Evaluation: Memorandum of Observation (MOO) Benchmarks

During  today's live field scenario simulating a contested extraction, SuperQ's  integrated architecture is being subjected to rigorous defence  evaluation protocols under a formal Memorandum of Observation (MOO) to  validate the platform's real-time decision-support capabilities in  contested environments:

• Sub-60-Second Dynamic Re-Tasking Speed: Testing the Super Edge™ engine's ability to re-solve complex  operational parameters and deliver an optimized Course of Action (COA)  directly to field personnel on tactical devices within 60 seconds of a  situational threat change.

• Sequential Re-Solve Continuity: Validating automated plan continuity and dynamic route optimization for  Utility Task Vehicles (UTVs) across at least three sequential threat  injections.

• Post-Quantum Secured Comms: Demonstrating unbroken post-quantum encrypted transport of movement  plans across satellite infrastructure, verifying zero unencrypted  code-line transmissions.

• Bidirectional Edge-to-Command Integration: Demonstrating seamless plan rendering on tactical field devices coupled  with real-time position reporting back to command headquarters.

The  live demonstration showcases SuperQ's end-to-end command-and-control  (C2) software stack designed for Joint All-Domain Command and Control  (JADC2) and Multi-Domain Operations (MDO):

• Super Edge™ (Tactical Feeder & Monitoring): Deployed on-device with dismounted military operators and mobile units,  Super Edge™ acts as a high-density telemetry feeder and monitor,  gathering real-time field data and streaming position reports even in  degraded or contested signal environments.

• Super™ Platform (Centralized Decision Ops Center): Operating as the real-time operational command center, the Super™  platform ingests live tactical telemetry from Super Edge™ devices.  Powered by proprietary hybrid quantum-classical optimization algorithms,  Super™ calculates optimal asset deployment, threat avoidance routing,  and dynamic COAs to deliver immediate decision supremacy to mission  commanders.

Strategic Commercial Catalyst and Defence Expansion

"Executing  a live operational demonstration at the Bush Combat Development Complex  in front of US military leaders, intelligence agencies, and defence  primes is a transformational catalyst for SuperQ," stated Dr. Muhammad Khan, CEO and Board Chair of SuperQ.  "In high-stakes Multi-Domain Operations, decision latency can  compromise mission success. By benchmarking sub-60-second re-tasking  speeds and post-quantum satellite encryption in real time, we are  proving that SuperQ's hybrid quantum-classical platform is a field-ready  operational force multiplier. We are deeply honored that Global Affairs  Canada has sponsored SuperQ as the sole Canadian technology deployment  in this exercise."

Marc Cervantes, Founder and CEO of Q-Branch, noted: "Canada is one of the closest Five Eyes (FVEY) partners the United States has, and SuperQ Quantum is exactly the kind of allied-nation innovator this accelerator was built for. We are proud to welcome them."

Eyren Uggenti, Head of Special Projects at SuperQ,  who leads the defence portfolio at SuperQ, added: "Closing the  operational loop between dismounted warfighters and command headquarters  requires absolute speed and uncompromised cybersecurity. Super Edge™  was built specifically to give operators low-latency on-device  monitoring and seamless telemetry feeding, while Super™ serves as the  rapid optimization engine. Testing our plan continuity across dynamic  checkpoint changes at Texas A&M's world-class facility validates the  tactical reliability and defence utility of our dual-use architecture  under simulated combat conditions."

This  deployment serves as a major milestone in SuperQ's strategy to scale its  solutions across the NATO procurement channels. By demonstrating  sovereign C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers,  Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) orchestration  capabilities to defence acquisition authorities and tier-one defence  contractors, SuperQ is positioning its platform portfolio—comprising  Super™, Super Edge™, and post-quantum cybersecurity suite SuperPQC™—for  future defence contracting, prime integrations, and enterprise dual-use  commercial scaling.
