In today’s hyperconnected world, secure communication and navigation are mission-critical. Defence and commercial organisations operate in increasingly complex and contested environments—where resilience, precision and protection against threats are essential.
At QinetiQ, we deliver secure navigation solutions that combine defence-grade technologies with deep domain expertise. Our capabilities span every electromagnetic frequency band and every operational environment—from space and underwater to constrained, high-threat scenarios.
Navigation Resilience
Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) is critical to defence, government and national infrastructure. We offer a range of technologies that ensure continuously available, resilient and highly accurate navigation—even in environments threatened by jamming, spoofing and cyber-attacks.
Our expertise includes:
- Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and user receivers
- Complementary GNSS-free technologies such as signals of opportunity, celestial navigation and novel sensors
- Navigation solutions for highly dynamic and contested environments
Our award-winning Q20 high dynamics GPS receiver exemplifies our innovation—delivering precision for advanced complex weapons and supporting over 500,000 emergency service users in its civilian variant.
Building upon the success of the current Q20 GPS receiver product, we are in the process of developing the next generation family of secured GNSS receivers. The first of these, Q40, is a multi-constellation, multi-frequency open-service Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver.
Q40 provides high-integrity satellite navigation solutions for users for whom positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) is mission critical. Through new, advanced digital signal and navigation processing they will provide market leading mitigation against a wide range of interference, jamming, spoofing and cyber threats.
By shifting from reactive defence to proactive resilience, we help our customers face the future with greater certainty.
