Onboard was a new device called MagNav, developed by Australian startup Q-CTRL, and it may mark the beginning of a new era in navigation. For decades, the Global Positioning System (aka GPS ...

Testing of the system on the ground, the researchers claim, showed it to be 50 times as accurate as any other GPS backup system. In the air, it was found to be 11 times more accurate than other ...

In January 2023, the U.S. Air Force awarded SandboxAQ a research contract to explore its geomagnetic navigation system. By May 2023, it completed its first flight tests during Exercise Golden ...

Australian company Q-CTRL has demonstrated its own secure quantum navigation system, that can work independently of GPS. It is noted that the system, called «Ironstone Opal», cannot be jammed and is ...

A team of researchers at Q-CTRL, a quantum infrastructure software company based in Sydney, Australia, has completed a successful demonstration of a new quantum navigation system called Ironstone Opal ...

A new celestial navigation system designed for drones could make them harder to detect by eliminating the need for GPS signal emissions. Scientists from the University of South Australia have ...

Researchers at Imperial College London are working on the “quantum compass,” a navigation system that doesn’t rely on external signals. Using subatomic particles, this technology can ...

Known as the global navigation satellite system, or GNSS, signals from these satellites provide the foundation for mobile networks, energy grids, the internet, and GPS. And increasingly ...

At a high level, Tera AI is building a spatial reasoning AI system to provide affordable visual navigation for autonomous robots. This technology is used in various applications, including robotic ...
