Submarine navigation applications of atom interferometry

H. Rice, Vincent Benischek

Abstract

Atom Interferometry is a next generation navigation technology based on Nobel Prize winning research into atom laser cooling and coherent atom waves. The technology is applicable to inertial navigation sensors: gyroscopes, accelerometers, gravity gradiometers and precision time. This paper discusses the theory of free fall atom interferometry, and its application as the inertial navigator for future submarine platforms.
