With increasing vulnerabilities to GPS tampering affecting both commercial and defense aviation, there is a growing need for more reliable navigation systems. A novel approach under development leverages the Earth's magnetic pull in its crust as a navigation aid. SandboxAQ and Airbus SV are collaborating on this solution, which uses magnetic navigation powered by quantum sensing and artificial intelligence. Their AQNav system has undergone extensive flight testing, covering over 27,300 miles and 200 airports, demonstrating its ability to match magnetic signals accurately without relying on GPS. Acubed by Airbus recently released data from these tests, highlighting the potential of this GPS-free navigation technology to address daily GPS interference challenges in aviation.
