NATO JUST PUT QUANTUM ON A MILITARY SCHEDULE. NATO has published its Quantum Technology Roadmap, approved by all Allies on July 30th, public as of yesterday. Quantum navigation at sea first: NATO's maritime research center ran its first round of sea trials, Questor 26, in La Spezia, Italy earlier this month, testing quantum sensors for positioning and navigation where GPS is unavailable with more trials run through 2027. First military pilot report, Q1 2027. Initial comparative assessments of quantum applications by the end of that year. A quantum-resilient communications link between NATO headquarters in Brussels and its military command in Mons, Belgium, by the end of 2027. And a design concept for an allied quantum computing access network, also in late 2027, so members can share machines instead of each building their own. Underneath that, the roadmap orders a post-quantum cryptography migration across the alliance and an industry readiness study on quantum-safe suppliers next spring. Put it next to this month's news with the Pentagon flying a jet for four hours over the Pacific on quantum navigation. A ship crossed the Coral Sea on a quantum gravimeter. The Pentagon is spending $200M to field quantum sensors. Now thirty-two countries have agreed on when to test the same thing. No budget in the public summary, and no promise of deployment by a date. What NATO committed to is the trials, those are what decide which companies' sensors end up in allied militaries. $INFQ $IONQ $LMT
