August news | DARPA awards Q-CTRL A$38M to advance quantum navigation for defense
We are proud to have been awarded two new Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Robust Quantum Sensors (RoQS) program contracts to further augment our field-validated quantum navigation technologies.
Both awards will accelerate the delivery of resilient navigation solutions for real-world defense missions, with one program delivered in partnership with Lockheed Martin . Adding greater robustness to quantum sensors through totally new software-ruggedization techniques will help expand the reach of our solutions to a wider range of military platforms.
As GPS faces growing risks from jamming, spoofing, and denial, we provide a reliable alternative with quantum sensing, maintaining precision in contested environments and closing critical coverage gaps. And with over 1,000 commercial flights affected daily by GPS interference, demand for this resilience is rising.
Building on successful airborne, maritime, and ground trials, we will deliver next-generation quantum sensors strengthened by our proprietary AI-powered software ruggedization. This enables dependable performance in high-vibration conditions outside of the lab.
Keep pace with quantum news
Congratulations!
