Artificial Intelligence Revolutionizes Satellite Navigation: Google and Startups Lead the Way

Artificial Intelligence and GPS: A New Era
GPS signals can be jammed or spoofed, threatening reliability. However, startups like SandboxAQ are leveraging artificial intelligence in conjunction with navigation systems that read Earth's magnetic field, known as MagNav, to mitigate these threats.
Harnessing AI for Enhanced Navigation
- AQNav Technology: Combines quantum magnetometers with AI to pinpoint aircraft positions accurately.
- Real-World Testing: Conducted by US Air Force, Boeing, and Airbus, showcasing practicality.
- Origins at Google: SandboxAQ's team initiated this innovative idea under Alphabet, focusing on applying AI to multiple sectors.
While still in testing, the AQNav technology aims to serve aviation and potentially other industries, setting the stage for a safer future.
