The Secret To Better Airplane Navigation Could Be Inside the Earth's Crust

Airbus's Silicon Valley innovation center Acubed and Google spinout SandboxAQ have successfully tested a quantum-sensing navigation device as an alternative to GPS during 150 hours of flights across the continental United States. The toaster-sized MagNav device uses quantum physics to measure unique...

SandboxAQ and Acubed Announce Results from Magnetic Navigation Testing for Aviation - Quantum Computing Report

SandboxAQ and Acubed, Airbus’ Silicon Valley innovation center, have announced results from a nationwide initiative to test the navigational accuracy of AQNav. AQNav is an AI-powered Magnetic Navigation (MagNav) system that utilizes quantum sensors, designed to provide aircraft positioning without relying on satellite signals. This initiative addresses challenges such as GNSS denial, jamming, and spoofing [...] The post SandboxAQ and Acubed Anno…

SandboxAQ and Acubed advance magnetic navigation

As GNSS denial, jamming and spoofing threaten aviation safety, SandboxAQ and Acubed, the Silicon Valley innovation center for Airbus, have released real-world test results from a five-month, nationwide project designed to test the accuracy of AQNav. AQNav is an artificial intelligence-driven magnetic navigation (MagNav) system. AQNav uses advanced quantum magnometers to read Earth’s crustal magnetic anomalies, like a geoohysical fingerprint, the…
