Physics Unit
Quantum Sensing & Subterranean Detection Research Unit
Advancing field-ready sensing systems that detect buried structures, subterranean movement, and hidden infrastructure through quantum measurement, signal modeling, and mission-focused computational analysis.
Mission
Detection for complex terrain
The Quantum Sensing & Subterranean Detection Research Unit develops precision sensing frameworks for locating underground voids, tunnels, buried assets, and geophysical anomalies in unstable or denied environments. Its work supports humanitarian route assessment, infrastructure risk analysis, and field intelligence where conventional detection methods are limited.
By combining quantum sensing concepts, electromagnetic response analysis, signal discrimination, and computational modeling, the unit helps translate advanced physics research into deployable detection workflows that improve situational awareness and reduce uncertainty below the surface.
