US X-37B Space Plane to Test Quantum Navigation System That Could Replace GPS
The US military’s X-37B space plane will test a quantum inertial sensor for navigation, moving beyond GPS reliance. The technology, based on ultracold atoms, offers precise positioning in deep space, underwater, and GPS-denied zones. If successful, it may transform both defense and future space exploration, marking a critical step in operational ...
