Q-CTRL Pty Ltd - Moreton

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Q-CTRL is a leader in the global quantum technology industry, pioneering AI-powered infrastructure software that makes quantum systems more stable, reliable, and useful. Our solutions optimize performance across quantum computing and quantum sensing, enabling real-world performance that matters to defense customers. We partner with major defense and aerospace organizations including Lockheed Martin and Airbus to deploy quantum technology in the missions that matter most. Q-CTRL is the world leader in quantum navigation, applying software-ruggedized quantum sensors to deliver GPS-like positioning accuracy in GPS-denied environments. Our systems have been validated in airborne, ground-based, and maritime vehicles and constitute a unique new GPS backup that is unjammable, unspoofable, and undetectable.

PRODUCTS

Ironstone Opal

The world’s only quantum-assured navigation system field-validated to deliver advantage across air, land, and sea; demonstrated 100X positioning improvement over a strategic-grade INS
No reliance on ground or space-based beacons, or external emissions, making it unjammable, unspoofable, and undetectable
Designed for defense and aerospace operations in contested and GPS-denied environments, including subsea and maritime vessels
Delivers bounded positioning irrespective of mission duration via passive comparison of geophysical signals to database reference maps
Compact SWaP profile ideal for uncrewed and autonomous platforms
Tested to mil-spec standards and proven in operational trials, including with the Royal Australian Navy and United States Department of War
Operates globally over oceans and land, independent of visibility, weather, or time of day
A perfect complement to low-drift INS, visual navigation, and LIDAR systems delivering a resilient multimode navigation system

DISCRIMINATORS

First organization globally to deliver useful quantum navigation in the real world
Only full-stack quantum-solution provider for aerospace and defense, delivering co-developed quantum navigation hardware and software for the most demanding missions
Specialization in software ruggedization eliminates crippling platform interference and removes burdensome calibration and training requirements of historical approaches
