ZeroDrift Technologies’ Diamond Quantum Magnetic Navigation solution—technology that cannot be jammed or spoofed—enables precise positioning in challenging and GPS-denied environments. GPS does not work well in many environments, and can be disabled by adversaries, rendering conventional PNT systems blind.

Problem
GPS and GNSS signals are unreliable or unavailable in many environments, such as urban canyons, dense foliage, Arctic regions, and contested areas where adversaries can jam or spoof them, leaving critical navigation, timing, and positioning systems blind.
Solution
ZeroDrift Technologies offers a Diamond Quantum Magnetic Navigation (DQMN) system that uses high‑resolution maps of the Earth’s crustal magnetic field as a passive reference for positioning, navigation, and timing. Proprietary diamond‑based quantum magnetic sensors measure subtle variations in the magnetic field, while machine‑learning algorithms match these measurements to pre‑generated magnetic maps to compute precise location estimates. The solution is designed for autonomous deployment across sea, Arctic, and contested domains, providing a resilient alternative that cannot be jammed or spoofed. It supports multi‑platform integration, enabling maritime vessels, autonomous ground and aerial systems, and other mission‑critical assets to maintain accurate navigation without reliance on satellite signals.
Target Audience
Primary customers are government defense and intelligence agencies, as well as commercial operators of autonomous maritime, Arctic, and unmanned systems that require reliable navigation in GPS‑denied or contested environments.
