SandboxAQ and Northrop Grumman Flight-Test AQNav Quantum Navigation on Attritable Drone
Northrop Grumman’s Lumberjack®
AI and quantum technology enterprise SandboxAQ has completed a successful flight-test campaign of its AQNav magnetic navigation (MagNav) system integrated onto Northrop Grumman’s (NYSE: NOC) Lumberjack®—a Group 3, one-way-attack attritable Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS). The demonstration marks the first reported operational flight-test of a MagNav payload deployed on an expendable, attritable drone platform, as well as the first reported pairing of magnetic anomaly navigation with visual navigation sensors on a one-way attack system.
