US Air Force eyes atomic clocks to keep swarms flying in jammed skies
SMRTR summary
The US Air Force is developing atomic clock technology to coordinate drone swarms when GPS is jammed or spoofed. This system, called Joint Multi-INT Precision Reference (JMPR), achieves sub-nanosecond accuracy allowing drones to synchronize movements without satellite navigation—crucial as Russia and China advance electronic warfare capabilities that can disrupt traditional systems.
