Purpose

Global positioning system (GPS) realized stable and safe navigation of ships, planes, and other traffic systems. However, the navigation precision under the ground or water is much worse than the case on the ground level. Even on the ground surface, there are various problems such as jamming or spoofing, threatening our safety and security. This research unit develops and implements cutting-edge technology covering classical to quantum areas and aims to establish revolutionary navigation technology to expand the human being's active region to the underwater or deep space. We also apply such novel navigation technology for diagnosing the inside of the earth and realize disaster defense and mitigation.
