The whole premise that this might be something in everyday use one day seems completely flawed. Even at the 1cm cube of physics it’s huge compared to GPS and it uses incredibly expensive materials.
If you’re a nuclear submarine or stealth bomber it makes loads of sense. For anything else I don’t really get the point.
If you're anything to do with military, I bet you _really_ badly want this over GPS. GPS can be spoofed or blocked over an area. So every drone, every group of soldiers, every truck, every boat really needs one.
Even just as a person, having a nav system that doesn't need to sync before it can be used would be nice, and no possible issues with buildings, trees, hills, etc.
I recon that’s what said about solid state gyros and accelerometers, vibrating structure gyros were initially developed for the military now they are like a $1 a pop…
If this works I can’t see a reason why in 10-15 year you won’t be able to fit it on a single chip.
There's a fairly obvious application in pretty much any military theatre. GPS is vulnerable to spoofing, having a second source of truth lets you know you're even being attacked. Comparing an IDS to a GPS at least gives you a canary.
