\nTwo-kilometer free-space demonstration validates quantum-secure communications and resilient PNT capabilities<\/i><\/p><\/a><\/a>

ARVADA, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#AltPNT<\/a>--Xairos Systems today announced a significant milestone for the Ares Quantum Optical Terminal, a robust system designed to deliver quantum-secure, high-data-rate communications and resilient position, navigation, and timing (PNT) in RF- and GPS-denied environments.<\/p>

\nXairos completed two-kilometer free-space range testing with Space Development Agency-compliant optical communications<\/a> and established simultaneous quantum and optical links using a common Ares Quantum Optical Terminal. This free-space testing \u2014 distinct from fiber-based demonstrations \u2014 marks a critical step toward real-world operational deployment.<\/p>

\nThe fully integrated Ares Quantum Optical Terminal will combine 10 Gbps free-space optical communications, entangled photon distribution for timing and encryption key sharing, and a stable clock ensemble disciplined by Xairos' exclusive Quantum Time Transfer (QTT) technology \u2014 all within a ruggedized compact package. QTT provides unprecedented security and resilience for PNT where GPS and RF signals are unavailable or jammed.<\/p>

\nAres Quantum Optical Terminal underpins a communications and PNT mesh network for aircraft, uncrewed aerial systems (UAS), ships, and other assets in contested environments, and serves as a foundation for a future space-based architecture spanning satellites, air vehicles, and ground nodes.<\/p>

\n\"This has been a strong team effort to integrate state-of-the-art capabilities into a package. The next step is to further develop this capability for our customers, including the Colorado Quantum Incubator to develop the Quantum Timing Center.\"<\/i><\/p>

\n\u2014 Mike Mabry, Chief Product Officer, Xairos<\/p>

\n\"Ares was developed specifically to meet the demand from our government customers to protect critical national infrastructure and the warfighter. For example, precision synchronization between distributed sensors and antennas is a key requirement for a future Golden Dome architecture that needs precise geolocation and data fusion for fire control.\"<\/i><\/p>
