Published purpose

Quantum RTLS 3.0 (dual-use) gives the Canadian Armed Forces and rugged industrial operators a capability they cannot get today: dependable, high-accuracy tracking of people, assets and autonomous systems outdoors and where GNSS is degraded or denied, without cameras. It ruggedizes the hardware to IP65+ and develops tightly-coupled sensor fusion that preserves millimetre-class accuracy when acoustic geometry is available, maintains bounded-error tracking during occlusion, and rapidly reacquires high accuracy without discontinuities. The result is a sovereign, Canadian-made local PNT and spatial ground-truth layer for yards, depots, training ranges, MRO and test sites - and the data foundation behind OmniVisor AI.
