“Quantum sensors can sense the tiniest of changes in the gravity or magnetic field and use a previously prepared map of these properties to determine their location. Since a quantum sensor does not need to receive or send a signal to an external device, it cannot be hacked or be spoofed by a fake incoming signal either. “ Very cool!

The team achieved 10 times better performance than GNSS systems, with a one nautical mile of positioning accuracy. Variation up to a full nautical mile doesn’t seem very accurate?

We’re gonna need a bigger drone.

Navigation with a suitcase sized device that doesn’t rely on hundreds of thousands of satellites? Honestly this sounds great.

The trouble with Quantum Navigation is you might end up where you were trying to go, but at a random point in the past where you have to change history to put right something that once went wrong.

Quantum freaks me out. How can we possibly make a point we are not in a simulation.

Using quantum sensors, the company achieved ten times the accuracy of conventional satellite-based navigation systems, while maintaining the one nautical mile positioning accuracy. Don’t we use GPS accurate to within centimeters for construction?

Quantum nav… awww man, for a second I thought The Orville was back!
