Field Applications
Our sensors are built for environments where satellites signals can’t reach, cables can’t run, and traditional tools can’t operate.
From autonomous systems to underground imaging to point-of-care diagnostics, magnetic sensing offers a new way to navigate, map, and monitor the world. We are currently working across the following field applications:
GPS-Denied Navigation
Challenges
Satellite signals are increasingly vulnerable to spoofing, jamming, and denial, especially in contested environments.
In other cases, like underwater, underground, or in dense urban terrain, GPS simply can’t reach, leaving systems blind or reliant on bulky, drift-prone alternatives.
Our Role
Our sensors extract orientation and positioning information by referencing subterranean magnetic signatures against magnetic field maps, enabling resilient positioning and navigation in environments where GPS is degraded or unavailable.
With vector readout, solid-state stability, and low size, weight, and power characteristics, the system is designed for seamless integration into autonomous platforms.
The systems can operate across land, sea, and sub sea, supporting navigation that is infrastructure-free, drift-resistant, and operational at the tactical edge.
Application Areas
Maritime vessels and uncrewed surface platforms
Sub sea vehicles and underwater robotics
Land and air based systems
Underground and GPS-obstructed environments
Autonomous drones
Subterranean Imaging
Challenges
Current methods of subsurface sensing using magnetometry relies on bulky, invasive equipment that costly and logistically complex to deploy.
Our Role
Our platform measures magnetic field vectors with the sensitivity ideally suited to measure subsurface anomalies without the need for digging holes or establishing fixed infrastructure.
The compact, solid-state product can enable rapid simultaneous deployment providing a scalable, non-invasive approach for numerous applications like imaging geological structures, buried assets, and unexploded ordnance with greater spatial precision and lower operational overhead.
Application Areas
Mining and mineral exploration
Construction and infrastructure monitoring
Defence and demining operations
Environmental assessment
Underground utilities and asset mapping
Medical Imaging
Challenges
Magnetic imaging tools like MRI and MEG offer extraordinary insight, but they remain confined to expensive, room-sized systems that require shielding, cryogenics, and specialised facilities.
This limits access, delays diagnosis, and prevents use in time-critical or resource-constrained settings.
Our Role
By leveraging the same quantum sensing principles used in research-grade systems, our device could enable new and compact medical imaging technologies that could offer a pathway to more accessible, real-time, field-based medical diagnostics.
Application Areas
Neuroimaging and brain activity monitoring
Point-of-care diagnostics
Mobile and emergency medicine
Medical device integration
Global health and low-resource settings
And Beyond
As a platform technology, our sensors are already revealing potential in other domains, from advanced mobility to infrastructure monitoring and next-generation electronics. We want to push the boundaries of what magnetic sensing can enable.
