He GPS It is a technological system that has changed the lives of hundreds of people in Spain. He Global Positioning System It allows to know the location of a person or object anywhere in the world and is based on a satellite network. He is a faithful aviation companion who has used it for decades. The problem is that it has certain limitations. Now the Boeing company He has launched a New quantum navigation system.
The truth is that the GPS calculates the position triangulating the data with different satellites, while Quantum navigation uses the movement of atoms. This means that it is more precise, it is not cut and cannot be spied. The American company tried it months ago. It was a success and since that time he has made several test flights under different conditions.
This is how the quantum navigation system works
As explained above, the GPS and all its equivalents use satellites to know the position of a plane or a car. An effective but a bit limited system is taken into account that satellites have a finite bandwidth. This means that they can be saturated and also The connection can be cut At some point.
Another point is that its accuracy of a few meters, while quantum navigation calculates the direction of the movement with the atoms and this ensures a much more millimeter accuracy That is not cut. This is achieved by Boeing thanks to the sensors that they believe have the ability to detect movements, rotations and accelerations.
The main purpose of this navigation system It is avoiding the problems that arise with the GPS. In addition, it stands out for achieving technological independence from satellites. The Boeing company has carried out the tests in Sant Louis. To do this, he has installed an IMU on the 1900D Beechcraft plane that managed to fly for several kilometers without any problem with this type of navigation.
This quantum system It is presented as the alternative of the futureperfect to replace GPS, especially in more commercial or military environments where maximum precision is needed.
