Engineers turn to quantum tech to replace GPS in flight navigation | Quantum sensing uses Earth's natural magnetic fields, making it immune to jamming and spoofing
Airbus has teamed with SandboxAQ, a Silicon Valley company specializing in artificial intelligence and quantum sensing, to field-test a new approach to navigation. Their collaboration focuses on...
SandboxAQ CEO Jack Hidary told the Wall Street Journal that while additional testing and certifications are needed before the technology sees widespread adoption, early results are promising and represent a turning point. Spoofing broadcasts false location data from the ground to deceive onboard receivers, while jamming overwhelms signals to disable navigation systems. Beyond securing navigation, quantum sensors could aid national defense by detecting hidden objects like submarines or underground tunnels, and improve medical diagnostics by sensing weak magnetic signals from the heart or brain, according to Joe Depa, Ernst & Young's Global Chief Innovation Officer.
