This keeps coming up in security circles and it deserves a proper thread.

The gap between headline announcements and what is actually deployable is the interesting part.

Interested in real answers rather than the obvious ones

That is one way of looking at it. Cheers for sharing.

The timeline estimates keep getting revised and nobody seems to want to admit why

GPS spoofing has become a serious operational problem particularly in contested areas around Russia and in the Middle East. Quantum inertial nav as a backup fills a real gap

SortedMate

The drift problem in quantum inertial systems is the main technical barrier. Even a small drift per hour becomes a major positioning error over the kind of long missions modern military platforms execute
VAR can do one

Lockheed framing this as a companion rather than replacement is honest. The hybrid approach is correct but it also means you still depend on GPS in the end which partially defeats the resilience argument
