GPS-Free Flight Test Succeeds as Quantum Sensors Guide an Embraer 170 Over the Pacific, Delivering 89% Better Navigation Accuracy Without Satellites
A groundbreaking test flight has demonstrated how aircraft could navigate accurately over vast stretches of ocean without relying on GPS. The Defense Innovation Unit’s (DIU) MagNav program successfully tested a quantum-sensing navigation system aboard an Embraer 170, flying from Seattle’s Puget Sound to southern Alaska and back over the Pacific Ocean. The system uses quantum…
