Secretive X37-B space plane to test quantum navigation system — scientists hope it will one day replace GPS
A US military space-plane, the X-37B orbital test vehicle, is due to embark on its eighth flight into space. Much of what the X-37B does in space is secret. But it serves partly as a platform for cutting-edge experiments. One of these experiments is a potential alternative to GPS that makes use of quantum science as a tool for navigation: a quantum inertial sensor. Satellite-based systems like GPS are ubiquitous in our daily lives, from smartphone maps to aviation and logistics. But GPS isn’t available everywhere. This technology could revolutionize how spacecraft, airplanes, ships and submarines navigate in environments where GPS is unavailable or compromised.
Quantum Navigation Breakthrough Highlights Growing Role for Technology-Grade Grown Diamonds
The future of navigation is on the cusp of a major transformation. Honeywell has recently secured significant U.S. Defense Department contracts to develop quantum sensor-based navigation systems, marking a critical step toward technologies that can operate independently of GPS. Unlike traditional GPS systems, which are vulnerable to jamming or signal loss, quantum navigation promises unparalleled precision in even the most challenging environments—submarines deep underwater, aircraft in contested airspace, or autonomous vehicles in GPS-denied urban landscapes.
A Special Diamond Is the Key to a Fully Open Source Quantum Sensor
Quantum sensors can be used in medical technologies, navigation systems, and more, but they’re too expensive for most people. That’s where the Uncut Gem open source project comes in.
Quantum sensors could help end our risky over-dependence on GPS
Defence and industrial investors are increasingly interested in using quantum sensors to go where the GPS system cannot take us.
