April news | Achieving commercial quantum advantage in navigation ✈️
We are incredibly proud to be the first company to demonstrate true commercial quantum advantage in navigation.
Today, almost all navigation relies on GPS. But amidst growing international conflict, GPS denial is becoming a weapon of both traditional warfare and nontraditional economic sabotage; an outage is estimated to cost $1 billion per day, and over 1,000 flights per day are now disrupted by GPS jamming incidents.
Our recent ground and air trials validate that our quantum navigation technology, Ironstone Opal, works in real-world environments and outperforms conventional GPS alternatives by up to 50x. These groundbreaking results are just the beginning and come at an important time in light of current threats to global trade.
“We’re thrilled to be the global pioneer in taking quantum sensing from research to the field … This is our first major system release and we’re excited that there is much more to come as we introduce new quantum-assured navigation technologies tailored to other commercial and defense platforms.” – Michael J. Biercuk, CEO and Founder, Q-CTRL
