Insider Brief
- ANELLO Photonics and Q-CTRL are partnering to develop a hybrid quantum-inertial navigation system designed to provide reliable positioning in GPS-denied and contested environments.
- The system combines silicon photonics-based inertial sensing with quantum magnetic navigation to deliver continuous positioning even when GPS signals are jammed, spoofed, or unavailable.
- The collaboration targets growing vulnerabilities in satellite navigation, including a reported $1 billion daily impact from GPS disruptions, with applications across defense, UAVs, and commercial transport.
