Quantum Sensors
Abstract
The Department of Defense’s (DoD) research and development of quantum technologies is critical to maintaining the Nation’s technological superiority. This effort will focus on maturing, demonstrating, and transitioning quantum inertial sensors, gravity sensors, atomic clocks, and quantum electro-magnetic sensors. The specific quantum technologies efforts are: -Joint (USAF/USN) Magnetic Navigation program led by the USAF using quantum magnetic sensors and magnetic maps to navigate aerial platforms without GPS. -Joint (USAF/USN) Inertial Sensing program utilizing accelerometer and gyroscopes to track position, orientation and velocity of a moving object in a non-jammable mode of operations: important for strategic platforms in multiple domains. -Joint (USN/USA) Magnetometer program led by ONR to enable a new generation of unmanned vehicles to create magnetic anomaly detection capabilities for both land and sea. -Quantum accelerometer program led by ONR to calibrate guidance accelerometers at sea without having to come back to port. -Joint (USA/USN) Atomic Clock program led by ARL providing the next generation of strategic atomic clocks.
