Jonathan Kwolek, Ph.D., a research physicist from the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) Quantum Optics Section attaches fiber-optic cables to deliver light into the compact laser-delivery system, ...

When the X-37B launches on its eighth mission no earlier than Aug. 21, it will carry an experimental quantum inertial sensor. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

The experimental sensor could be groundbreaking. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A US military space-plane, the X-37B orbital ...

Exploiting quantum physics could offer commercial aircraft an alternative to satellite-based navigation, by enhancing the accuracy of inertial systems while avoiding disruption and jamming. Commercial ...

Honeywell has expanded its HGuide industrial navigation portfolio with three new technologically advanced navigation systems — the HGuide o360 INS/GNSS navigator, HGuide n500 inertial navigator and ...

Traditional inertial navigation systems calculate position by continuously integrating motion data. Over time, even microscopic measurement errors accumulate, gradually pushing position estimates off ...
