Quantum navigation offers precise positioning without satellites. It works underwater and underground. Trials show promise, but ruggedisation remains key—success would reduce disruption risks, protect critical systems, and strengthen resilience where signals fail or are denied.

Learning Outcomes

  • Understand why satellite denial creates strategic and operational risk.
  • Recognise how quantum inertial sensors enable navigation without external signals.
  • Consider how emerging navigation methods improve resilience in contested environments.
