Q-CTRL Quantum Navigation On Display At Farnborough Airshow

Quantum ZeitgeistJuly 14, 20264 min read

Q-CTRL will present the first airworthiness-qualified quantum navigation system, a GPS backup, at the Farnborough International Airshow. Validated through air, land, and maritime trials, the system maintains positioning accuracy better than 0.3 nautical miles for 95% of flight time, addressing increasing disruptions from GPS interference.

Over 1,500 daily commercial flights are disrupted by GPS interference, creating a critical need for resilient backup systems, and Q-CTRL will showcase its solution at the Farnborough International Airshow. The company reports it is the first to achieve safety-of-flight qualification under the RTCA DO-160 airworthiness standard with Ironstone Opal, a quantum navigation system validated to maintain positioning accuracy better than 0.3 nautical miles for 95% of…
