GPS-free quantum navigation proves sea-ready with 10x accuracy
TL;DR Summary
Q-CTRL demonstrated GPS-free navigation at sea using quantum sensors stabilized by AI, achieving one nautical mile accuracy and about 10x the performance of GNSS. GravNav measures gravity changes to determine position, runs autonomously aboard a ship cabin, and is resilient to GPS spoofing/jamming, signaling a defense-ready alternative when satellite signals are unavailable.
