Quantum Navigation Systems Roadmapping and Commercial Exploitation
Awarded 19 Jan 2025
About
DSIT awarded a contract to QinetiQ Limited for the development and commercial exploitation of quantum navigation systems, focusing on small, robust systems deployable on aircraft and other mobile platforms.
The project combines quantum clocks, inertial measurement units (IMUs) with subcomponents such as accelerometers and rotation sensors/gyroscopes, and embedding technologies for ultra-precise mapping.
It includes a technology roadmap for ground, air, and sea platforms, and facilitates fabrication and manufacturing capabilities to achieve chip-scale integration.
This work supports the government's Position, Navigation & Timing (PNT) Policy Framework published on 18th October 2023 (point 10) to accelerate R&D into quantum navigation and next-generation optical clocks.
The contract value is £87,427.5.
