UKRI's £50 million investment targets practical quantum applications designed to mitigate GPS vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure, including military navigation and railway monitoring. By funding projects like ColdQuanta UK and MoniRail, the initiative aims to build domestic supply chains for resilient positioning systems that function without satellite reliance. This move represents a significant step toward operationalizing quantum sensing for national security and transport resilience rather than focusing solely on theoretical computing advancements.

UKRI funds quantum tech to keep military systems running when GPS fails

Quantum ZeitgeistOctober 13, 20264 min read

Businesses across the UK are backed with a share of £50 million for quantum technologies, including navigation systems that work when GPS fails. The funding from UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) supports companies building next-generation systems, such as a MoniRail project pinpointing railway faults where GPS is unable to reach.

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is investing £50 million in quantum technologies with projects designed to address critical infrastructure vulnerabilities and improve healthcare access, the company says. Among the winning projects is ColdQuanta UK, developing a compact quantum radio system that could allow navigation even when GPS fails, a capability vital for both military operations and resilient infrastructure. MoniRail is also receiving funding to create a quantum monitoring system pinpointing railway faults where GPS signals are unavailable, promising to reduce commuter…
