Dr. Michal Krelina from the Czech Technical University in Prague explores the potential of quantum-enhanced radars and electronic warfare in a recent article. Quantum technology, which harnesses properties like superposition and entanglement at the fundamental level of individual quantum systems, has significant potential in military applications. Quantum-enhanced radars could offer improved sensitivity, particularly in detecting targets with minimal radar cross-sections and weak return signals. Quantum clocks could refine GPS accuracy to the picosecond level. Quantum transducers could improve efficiency in complex signal-processing tasks. Companies like Honeywell and British Telecom are already developing and testing these technologies.
Quantum Technologies: Transforming Radars and Electronic Warfare
Quantum Technology (QT) is a rapidly evolving field that leverages quantum properties such as superposition and entanglement at the fundamental level of individual quantum systems, including electrons, ions, and atoms. This article explores the potential of quantum-enhanced radars and electronic warfare, focusing on their near to mid-term operational viability, particularly in the air and space domains.
Quantum-Enhanced Radars: A New Era in Sensing and Imaging
Quantum-enhanced radars harness the power of quantum properties to improve radar capabilities. Two promising technologies in this area are based on Rydberg atoms and Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centres, both applicable for narrow and wideband RF scanning and reception.
