UK hails first test of quantum aircraft navigation
The government’s £2.5bn quantum strategy receives a boost with test of quantum technology that gets around GPS jamming.
Supported by £8m of quantum technology funding from the UK government, the company announced it had successfully completed commercial flight trials of advanced quantum-based navigation systems that cannot be jammed or spoofed by hostile actors. While GPS jamming is currently relatively rare and does not directly impact an aircraft’s flight path, new quantum-based PNT systems could, over time, offer one part of a larger solution to providing highly accurate and resilient navigation. Infleqtion’s UK president, Timothy Ballance, said: “Our recent trials mark a significant step forward in the development of quantum PNT solutions.
