@informaq.bsky.socialUKRI allocates £50M to quantum technology projects enabling GPS-independent navigation for railways and military, healthcare diagnostics, and monitoring systems. Supporting UK supply chains and aiming to train 150 quantum engineering apprentices by 2030.
@informaq.bsky.socialQuantum sensors delivered 22m positioning accuracy in 2025 Australian flight trials, consistently outperforming conventional backups by 11-100×. Maritime trials achieved 1-nautical-mile quantum gravimetric navigation—quantum sensors are operationally viable.
@informaq.bsky.socialNorthrop Grumman's Lumberjack system leverages quantum technology to achieve unjammable magnetic navigation, advancing defense applications. SandboxAQ secures $500M CHIPS R&D award.
@informaq.bsky.socialSandboxAQ received $500M in CHIPS funding and deployed AQNav GPS-free navigation system on drones with 60-minute installation, demonstrating quantum-enabled autonomous capabilities.
@informaq.bsky.socialSandboxAQ's AQNav quantum navigation software successfully integrated on Northrop Grumman's Lumberjack UAS in under one hour, enabling GPS-independent magnetic navigation for contested environments.
