Q-CTRL has successfully transitioned quantum sensing from experimental research to a certified aviation safety solution by achieving RTCA DO-160 airworthiness qualification for its Ironstone Opal navigation system. This milestone provides the first commercially viable, jamming-immune GPS backup capable of maintaining sub-nautical mile accuracy without relying on external satellite signals, directly addressing critical vulnerabilities in global airspace security.
Q-CTRL Quantum Navigation On Display At Farnborough Airshow

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…
