Abstract
New advancements in quantum technologies look to provide significant improvements in capability for combat platforms in navies across the world. From communications systems to weapon targeting and navigation, there are countless possibilities for the enhancement and augmentation of current systems. Due to the current low technology readiness levels quantum systems are often considered a distant threat/opportunity, over the timeline horizon. However, due to the dramatic and transformative end results promised by some researchers, the ship designer of today needs to understand the potential impact of this wildcard technology. This latest paper describes what a quantum enhanced warship of the future could look like and the current progress towards the required accuracies and capabilities.
