Insider Brief GPS signals are weak by the time they reach Earth. That weakness is why they are increasingly being disrupted – blocked through jamming, or overridden with false signals through spoofing. GPS is the best-known satellite timing system in Australia and the United States, but it is one of several systems that together make […]
The increasing vulnerability of traditional GPS to jamming and spoofing, coupled with advancements in quantum technology, makes the development of alternative, resilient navigation systems urgent.
Reliable positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) are critical for modern civilian and military infrastructure, and quantum-based solutions offer significant resilience against adversarial attacks.
The ability to produce resilient quantum light sources moves quantum sensing closer to practical, deployable applications, potentially reducing reliance on vulnerable satellite systems.
