Robust Quantum Sensors (RoQS) Phase 1 — DARPA
Safran Federal Systems selected by DARPA for Phase 1 of the Robust Quantum Sensors (RoQS) program, developing quantum sensors for GPS-denied positioning/navigation/timing, including tests on a military helicopter. Contract value not disclosed.
Safran Federal Systems was selected by DARPA under the Robust Quantum Sensors (RoQS) program to develop quantum sensors resistant to environmental disruption for assured position, navigation, and timing (PNT) in GPS-denied and contested environments. This Phase 1 award covers sensor development through testing aboard a military helicopter, intended to demonstrate reliable operation in a demanding platform environment and shorten the transition from lab research to fielded PNT capability.
