In July 2025, Honeywell Aerospace was awarded two US Department of Defense contracts under the Transition of Quantum Sensing (TQS) program to develop quantum sensor-based navigation technologies. The CRUISE project focuses on quantum Inertial Measurement Units for GNSS-independent navigation, while the QUEST project advances quantum magnetometers for magnetic anomaly-aided navigation. In October 2024, Honeywell announced a Public-Private Partnership with the European Space Agency and the UK Space Agency to develop the Quantum Key Distribution Satellite (QKDSat). The project, part of the company’s Q-STATE network, aims to provide quantum-secure communications for civil, military, and commercial users by generating quantum-based encryption keys and detecting interception attempts.

In May 2025, Teledyne Space Imaging introduced three industrial CMOS image sensors (Ruby 1.3M USV, Emerald Gen2 12M USV, and Emerald 67M USV) that have been qualified for space applications through radiation and delta space qualification testing.
