What’s new: An article about DOD non-space PNT efforts.
Why it’s important: DOD has long led the way in many technologies. They certainly did with PNT by creating GPS.
What else to know: The article is about quantum projects for time and advanced inertial navigation.
- Quantum is developing well. The article mentions some of the challenges to making it operational and widely adopted.
- Quantum will undoubtedly be part of the solution architecture at some point.
- Wide adoption of quantum will depend on much, much lower SWaP-C and overcoming concerns about how well timing sensors sync with each other.
- As is the case with all PNT technologies, quantum will be part of the solution, but there is no silver bullet.
