Quantum Sensing Navigation Undergoes First Sea Trials with Australian Navy

Quantum sensing navigation undergoes first sea trials with Australian Navy

A solution to GPS denial may lie in quantum sensing, a technique recently used by the Royal Australian Navy in trials with Q-CTRL, an Australian quantum technology company. These trials come as the U.S. also invests in similar technology and solutions to the critical problem facing worldwide navies today. Quantum sensing was recently implemented aboard the Royal Australian Navy’s multirole aviation training vessel, where a quantum dual gravimete…

Q-CTRL Validates Quantum-Based Maritime Navigation for Defense in First Sea Trials - Quantum Computing Report

Q-CTRL has conducted successful defense trials at sea for its new maritime quantum navigation solution. The trials were performed with Australian Defence on board the Royal Australian Navy’s Multi-role Aviation Training Vessel (MATV), MV Sycamore. This marks a validation of software-ruggedized quantum sensing technology for navigation within a real-world maritime environment. In these trials, Q-CTRL [...] The post Q-CTRL Validates Quantum-Based …

Airbus' Acubed and Google spinout SandboxAQ test MagNav, a quantum-sensing navigation device and potential GPS alternative, for 150+ flight hours across the US

MAS Completes Sandbox Trial to Prepare Financial Sector for Quantum-Era Cyber Risks - Fintech Singapore

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has announced the successful completion of its Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) sandbox. The sandbox trialled the use of quantum-safe technology to secure sensitive financial communications within the financial services sector. Conducted in collaboration with several banks and technology partners, it explored how QKD could strengthen the cybersecurity foundations of Singapore’s financial system. MAS said a…

Navy, Q-CTRL break ground in quantum sensing trial

An Australian Navy ship has completed the first trial of a locally developed autonomous quantum sensor for navigation on a Defence platform, recording promising results to shore up GPS alternatives. A quantum dual gravimeter on board a Navy training vessel measured tiny variations in Earth’s gravity for almost a week without human intervention as part of a next-generation quantum-assured positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) system. The tech…
