Safran to Build Quantum Sensors Under DARPA’s RoQS Program
Safran Federal Systems has been awarded a contract from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) under the Robust Quantum Sensor (RoQS) programme, an initiative supporting the U.S. Department of Defense’s drive to deliver assured Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) in contested and GPS-denied environments.
Safran will develop quantum sensors that are inherently resistant to environmental disruptions, ensuring they can operate reliably. These sensors are expected to enable reliable navigation across multiple domains, helping reduce dependence on GPS and strengthening operational readiness for U.S. and allied forces.
The award covers the first phase of the programme in which Safran will complete the quantum sensor development, including tests on a military helicopter, to demonstrate effectiveness in challenging environmental conditions.
