This trial demonstrates the practical application of UK sovereign quantum technology by using cold-atom clocks to synchronize distributed radar networks without reliance on satellite navigation systems. By maintaining a coherent air picture under simulated GNSS denial, Aquark addresses critical vulnerabilities in defense and infrastructure resilience against spoofing or outages. The successful deployment highlights how precise timing derived from atomic frequency information enables robust sensor fusion independent of global positioning satellites.

Aquark links radars with quantum timing for clearer picture

Quantum ZeitgeistAugust 12, 20264 min read

Aquark augmented networked radars with quantum timing in a June 2026 trial, maintaining a coherent picture independent of GNSS.

A single 24-hour disruption to civilian security, aviation, shipping, and financial markets could cost £1.42 billion, highlighting the vulnerability addressed by Aquark Technologies’ recent trial of networked radars augmented with quantum-based timing. In June 2026, Aquark partnered with the Royal Navy, Saab UK, Qinetiq, and DSTL, utilizing radars at Saab and Qinetiq sites alongside the Royal Navy’s XV Patrick Blackett, to demonstrate a distributed, high-performance military radar network independent of global navigation satellite systems. Matthew Aldous, Timing Lead at Aquark Technologies, said,…
