Quantum-Safe Navigation & Positioning

Protect GNSS receivers, inertial navigation systems, and positioning data links against quantum computing threats. From PQC-authenticated GPS signals to AI-powered anti-spoofing with quantum-safe integrity across every navigation layer.

QS-GNSS Authentication

PQC-authenticated GNSS signal processing with M-code upgrade path, ensuring that satellite navigation signals cannot be forged by quantum-enabled adversaries.

PQC Navigation Links

Post-quantum encrypted INS/GPS data transmission for secure navigation data fusion, protecting positioning information against interception and quantum decryption.

AI Anti-Spoofing

ML-based GPS spoofing detection combined with PQC authentication chains, providing layered defense against quantum-era navigation warfare and signal manipulation.

Why navigation systems are vulnerable

GPS authentication and GNSS signal integrity rely on cryptographic signatures that will be broken by quantum computers. Adversaries with quantum capability can spoof authenticated GPS signals, forge navigation messages, and undermine the trust foundation of military positioning systems.

Inertial navigation system data links use RSA and ECC encryption for INS/GPS fusion data transmission. Quantum computers will break these protections, enabling interception and manipulation of navigation data. Navigation warfare — including coordinated spoofing, meaconing, and signal manipulation — becomes significantly more dangerous when classical authentication is quantum-compromised.

  • GPS authentication signatures use quantum-vulnerable RSA/ECC cryptography
  • INS/GPS data fusion links subject to quantum-enabled interception and decryption
  • Navigation warfare amplified by quantum-broken signal authentication
  • M-code GPS authentication vulnerable to future quantum signature forgery
  • Timing and positioning data integrity compromised across all dependent systems
