On January 19, 2026, the Cyberagentur published the call for proposals for the research program “Protective Measures for Quantum Technology against Future Electronic Warfare – Position, Navigation, Timing” (EloQa). The subject is an overview study on quantum-based positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) systems with a particular focus on their vulnerability to future electronic warfare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The starting point of the research program is a core security-strategic problem: almost all of today’s civil and military navigation systems operate in a GNSS-dependent environment. In so-called GNSS denied environments – for example due to interference, deception or failure of satellite-based systems – the availability of reliable navigation is no longer guaranteed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quantum-based PNT systems are considered a promising way out of this dependency. These include, in particular, inertial quantum sensors and quantum sensor-based methods for navigation using the Earth’s magnetic field or gravitational anomalies. The aim of these technologies is to render classic electronic warfare ineffective and enable autonomous, robust navigation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, there is a key research gap here: Electronic warfare against quantum systems has hardly been investigated to date. While quantum-based PNT approaches are often regarded as inherently resilient, there is a lack of systematic analyses of possible attack paths, disruptive influences and realistic countermeasures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is precisely where EloQa comes in. The tendered overview study is intended to evaluate quantum technology PNT approaches holistically – including their technological maturity, their operational capability up to 2040, their dependence on environmental factors and potential attack and disruption scenarios in the context of future electronic warfare. In addition, practicable protective measures and research requirements will be identified. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With EloQa, the Cyberagentur is creating a resilient basis for aligning the development of quantum-based navigation systems in a safety-oriented manner, correcting technological misconceptions at an early stage and preparing robust GNSS-independent PNT capabilities for safety-critical applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tender was published on the electronic tendering platform under the reference 352 CAN VV 2025(https:\/\/www.evergabe-online.de\/tenderdetails.html?4&id=830880)<\/a>. The submission deadline for participation is 10.02.2026, 11:00 a.m. Interested research institutions and companies can now register their participation. Participation is possible both alone and in a consortium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
