Q-CTRL Unveils Jam-Proof Positioning System That's 50x More Accurate Than GPS
schwit1 shares a report from Interesting Engineering: Australia's Q-CTRL developed a new system called "Ironstone Opal," which uses quantum sensors to navigate without GPS. It's passive (meaning it doesn't emit signals that could be detected or jammed) and highly accurate. Instead of relying on sat...
schwit1 shares a report from Interesting Engineering: Australia's Q-CTRL developed a new system called "Ironstone Opal," which uses quantum sensors to navigate without GPS. Q-CTRL ran some live tests on the ground and in the air to validate the technology. Even when the equipment was mounted inside a plane, where interference is much worse, it outperformed existing systems by at least 11x.
