The grow and level up the economy strategic priority is at the heart of the government’s agenda to spread opportunity across the UK. Transport has a crucial role to play, whether it be through improving connectivity across the United Kingdom and growing the economy by enhancing the transport network, on time and on budget. DfT has a number of specific interests in this space, notably our infrastructure projects, Places for Growth and our apprenticeships and skills work.

The project MISTIQUE directly addresses the question by focusing on the development of quantum sensors for accurate navigation and timing without the use of satellite navigation services, specifically for transport systems.
Reliable and accurate positioning and navigation functionality is essential for much of or modern society. This need, however, is even stronger for critical national infrastructure (CNI), such as the emergency and defenc...

The project specifically focuses on developing quantum-enhanced inertial navigation systems as an alternative to GNSS for secure positioning and navigation.
Accurate positioning and navigation are essential for the functioning of modern infrastructure and are usually provided by Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) such as GPS. This occurs to such an extent that GNSS i...
