Description

Quantum sensing for communication & navigation in challenging environments. This research aims to address outstanding navigation and communication difficulties in challenging undersea and underground environments by developing quantum magnetic sensing technology. Unlike conventional high-frequency electromagnetic signals (e.g. GPS), low-frequency magnetic signals can penetrate through conductive media such as sea-water and soil. This project will combine applied physics and manufacturing capability to translate research into compact, robust, high-performance, low-cost and deployable quantum technology. Resulting in enhanced capability and autonomy for underwater and underground vehicles. This will benefit our sovereign capability in industry-backed quantum technology and our defence and security capability.. Scheme: Early Career Industry Fellowships. Field: 4009 - Electronics, Sensors and Digital Hardware. Lead: Dr Michael Barson
