• Q-CTRL's Ironstone Opal quantum navigation system achieves RTCA DO-160 qualification.
• System provides navigation accuracy of RNP 0.3 without satellite signals.
• Two hardware variants available for crewed aviation and UAVs.
• System is ITAR-free, allowing international deployment.

This qualification may signal a shift towards quantum navigation in commercial aviation and UAVs, potentially reducing reliance on satellite-based positioning. The system's ability to provide accurate navigation without satellite signals could be particularly valuable in environments where GPS jamming and spoofing are prevalent, and may indicate a growing demand for alternative navigation solutions.
