Positional intelligence in GPS-denied environments
The Increasing Threat of GPS Interference
Modern navigation runs on GPS - and adversaries know it. Jamming and spoofing are now routine, and every aircraft that treats satellite positioning as its single source of truth inherits risk to its mission.
MagNav that fits what you already have
AQNav operates as an additional guiding source inside your existing navigation stack. Delivering assured navigation without a proprietary stack or hardware overhaul.
Sensor agnostic
SandboxAQ characterizes and evaluates sensors for AQNav across performance, environmental, and integration criteria, giving you the flexibility to work across a growing range of sensor technologies and vendors.
Open architecture
AQNav is designed to be compliant with MOSA standards, significantly reducing integration complexity.
Minimal compute
AQNav is engineered for a minimal compute footprint, providing MagNav capabilities without placing unnecessary demands on your existing mission systems.

FAQ
Why choose MagNav as an alt-PNT solution?
MagNav navigates on the Earth's magnetic field - a signal with nothing to jam, spoof, or switch off. It works in all weather and over any terrain with no view of sky or ground.
Why use quantum sensors?
Quantum-based magnetometers deliver precise location, and paired with AI-driven signal processing they turn a weak natural signal into an accurate, real-time position.
Why AQNav for MagNav?
AQNav is a software-first MagNav solution that provides assured navigation in the absence of GPS, completely independent of any infrastructure. It uses your sensors and compute - alleviating need for a proprietary stack or costly hardware overhaul.
Does SandboxAQ sell hardware?
AQNav is a software-first solution. Our team of experts will evaluate your current navigation configuration, integrate AQNav software, and advise what hardware is required.
Will AQNav close my capability gap on my platform?
Every platform has a unique configuration. Our team uses physics-based modeling plus real magnetic measurements from your platform to produce a mission-specific estimate with assumptions stated.
Will AQNav perform as predicted on my platform?
We fly the SandboxAQ Evaluation Kit on your platform, open-loop, and measure actual performance - so you hold objective flight data from your platform.
