Problem
Accurate navigation, magnetic anomaly detection, and RF spectrum monitoring rely on bulky, power‑hungry equipment that often requires external emissions, limiting covert operations and performance in GNSS‑denied or harsh environments.
Solution
QuBeats delivers compact quantum sensors that provide laboratory‑grade precision for these tasks. Their vapor‑cell atomic magnetometers achieve femtotesla to picotesla sensitivity, while Rydberg‑atom RF receivers offer ultra‑wideband, antenna‑free detection. Integrated sensor‑fusion software combines magnetic data with inertial measurements and edge compute to enable magnetically aided inertial navigation and fleet analytics. The passive, zero‑emission architecture ensures stealthy operation, and rugged, low‑SWaP packaging makes the technology field‑ready for platforms ranging from airborne and subsea vehicles to space payloads.
Target Audience
Primary customers include defense and security agencies, aerospace and space operators, navigation system integrators, and georesource or biomedical firms requiring high‑precision magnetic or RF sensing in challenging environments.
