Good news (right out of Bletchley Park)!
"... The British government has announced that it is deploying a top-secret quantum clock, developed by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), across the military over the next five years. ...
There are any number of applications for quantum clocks and to achieve these the Dstl has conducted the first British trials outside of the laboratory and is working on ways to miniaturize the technology and integrate it into existing military systems. ...
According to the press release, the new quantum clock can be used to run an alternative to GPS that can provide the same positioning accuracy when the GPS signal is being jammed or spoofed.
It can also be used to secure communications by using highly synchronized timekeeping for high-level encryption.
It can make weapon systems, including missiles, far more accurate too, and it can counter cyberattacks by being able to respond in milliseconds – much faster than the attacker can react. ..."
Top secret lab develops atomic clock using quantum technology "A revolutionary UK-built atomic clock will make military operations more secure through experimental quantum technology."
