SandboxAQ and Northrop Grumman Flight-Test AQNav Quantum Navigation on Attritable Drone
TL;DRQuantum-based navigation system tested successfully on disposable military drone for first time.
Why it matters: GPS-independent navigation could enable drones to operate in GPS-denied environments where adversaries jam signals.
SandboxAQ and Northrop Grumman successfully flight-tested the AQNav magnetic navigation system on a Lumberjack® attritable drone, marking the first operational flight-test of MagNav on an expendable platform and the first pairing of magnetic anomaly navigation with visual…
