Technological innovation to protect nations and businesses
Research has shown that GPS vulnerability could potentially cause £1bn in losses per day, with GPS interference incidents increasing by 2,000 percent between 2018 and 2021. Quantum sensors – which are currently in use to provide accurate signals – are typically very large, power-hungry, unstable and vulnerable to jamming, causing them to become less accurate over time.
To help protect critical infrastructure which underpins the security of businesses and nations, Aquark has developed a high-performing, magnetic field-free cold atom trap. Aquark’s patented, novel method of constructing cold atom quantum sensors without magnetic fields enables them to reduce the size, weight, power consumption and cost of their sensors. This means the technology is mobile and robust and can therefore be used in remote and difficult terrains such as underwater and in the air.
