Quantum sensing systems are now progressing from lab to market, this event connects quantum developers with business leaders, integrators, and decision-makers across the PNT sector. We’ll examine where quantum sits in the PNT landscape; not as a buzzword,
but as a maturing class of technologies with well differentiated capabilities, real timelines and new, maturing, supply chains.
Sessions will offer a concise overview of the full spectrum of quantum PNT capabilities, with focused briefings from leading UK and international developers on quantum inertial sensors, gravity and magnetometry-based navigation, quantum clocks and entangled
time transfer. Alongside this, we’ll explore readiness for field deployment, implications for integration, and the evolving industrial and defence context in which these technologies are being developed.
