World's First Airworthiness-Certified Quantum Navigation Backup System Debuts, Enabling GPS-Free Flight
Australian company Q-CTRL will showcase the Ironstone Opal at the Farnborough International Airshow — the world's first quantum navigation system to achieve RTCA DO-160 airworthiness certification. Designed as a GPS backup for aircraft and drones, the system uses quantum sensors and magnetic field map-matching to deliver drift-free positioning even under GPS jamming or spoofing. A sub-1 kg variant is available for drone platforms.
