Quantum Navigation: Drones Outsmart Jamming
23 Jul
Summary
- Novel navigation systems are emerging to counter drone jamming.
- Australian firm Q-CTRL uses quantum measurements for guidance.
- These systems will operate even with intense jamming.
Drone navigation is being revolutionized to combat battlefield jamming.
Novel systems are emerging that can guide unmanned aerial vehicles even when GPS signals are deliberately disrupted. This advancement is crucial for maintaining drone operations in contested airspace.
Australian guidance technology firm Q-CTRL is developing these next-generation systems. Their approach leverages quantum sensing, measuring the Earth's magnetic and gravitational fields.
This quantum-based navigation promises resilience, ensuring drones can function effectively despite intense jamming and electronic countermeasures that aim to disable them.
