Quantum sensor technology in the maritime environment

Gepostet von | 26 Jun 2025 | , , | 0

Quantentechnologie wird, neben der künstlichen Intelligenz, als eines der großen technologischen Zukunftsfelder gesehen. Einen bedeutenden Bereich davon bildet die Quantensensorik. Welche Prinzipien und Technologien verbergen sich hinter dem Begriff, und was leistet Quantensensorik bereits heute in maritimen Anwendungen? Grundsätzlich dient der Begriff Quantensensorik der Abgrenzung gegenüber klassischen Sensoren und beschreibt jeden Sensor, der quantenphysikalische Prinzipien nutzt. Ein bereits weit fortgeschrittener Bereich der Quantensensorik ist dabei die Magnetometrie, die Messung von Magnetfeldern. Hier dominieren zwei Technologien: Supraleitende Quanteninterferenzgeräte (Squids) und optisch gepumpte Magnetometer (OPMs) mit jeweils individuellen Charakteristiken, die es für eine mögliche Anwendung zu beachten gilt.[ds_preview] Das Squid basiert...

At the end of March, the third destroyer of the third construction batch of the Arleigh Burke class (Flight III) was christened "Jeremiah Denton" (DDG 129) at Huntington Ingalls (Newport News Shipbuilding) - in memory of a Navy Cross-winning veteran of the Vietnam War, who later also sat in the House of Representatives as a senator from the US state of Alabama. The Flight III variant of this destroyer class (155 metres long, weighing 9,300 tonnes) is equipped with state-of-the-art sensors, battle management systems and the latest energy and cooling technology - an important prerequisite for future equipment with laser weapons. As with the predecessor models, the propulsion is provided by four gas turbines and allows speeds of up to...

Aircraft carrier "Harry S. Truman" - Sea damage in the Red Sea

Aircraft carrier "Harry S. Truman" - Sea damage in the Red Sea

The deployment of the "Harry S. Truman" (CVN-75), which began in autumn 2024, has not been under a good star so far. A serious incident occurred in the Red Sea in mid-December: an F/A-18F Super Hornet belonging to its own Fighter Wing was accidentally shot down by the USS Gettysburg, a Ticonderoga cruiser from its own Carrier Strike Group. Both pilots were able to save themselves with the ejection seat. A few weeks later, after passing through the Suez Canal, the carrier collided with a Turkish freighter off Port Said. Although there was only minor material damage, the commander was killed during repairs at the U.S. Naval Support Activity (NSA) in Souda...
