U.S. Army Develops Advanced Atomic Clocks and Sensors for GPS-Denied Environments
DEFENSE
The U.S. Army's DEVCOM ARL is developing smaller, high-performance atomic clocks and electric field sensors to enhance battlefield capabilities in GPS-denied environments. The chip-scale atomic clock aims to reduce size and cost while maintaining precision for extended mission durations. Collaboration with other military branches and the private sector is crucial for advancing these quantum technologies.
