Quantum alternative to GPS navigation will be tested on US military spaceplane

US testing quantum navigation aboard secretive military space plane

A US military space plane, the X-37B orbital test vehicle, is due to embark on its eighth flight into space on August 21, 2025. Much of what the X-37B does in space is secret. But it serves partly as a platform for cutting-edge experiments. One of these experiments is a potential alternative to GPS that […] The post US testing quantum navigation aboard secretive military space plane appeared first on Asia Times.

Quantum tech could help pilots navigate safely without GPS

For more than 20 years, GPS has quietly powered much of our modern world—from guiding airplanes and ships to timing financial trades and running power grids. But this invisible backbone of our daily lives is far more vulnerable than most people realize. In recent years, GPS jamming and spoofing—where signals are blocked or faked—have become […] The post Quantum tech could help pilots navigate safely without GPS appeared first on Knowridge Scienc…
