Dirac Labs joins Wisconsin Security Research Consortium

Insider Brief

• Dirac Labs has joined the Wisconsin Security Research Consortium as an industry affiliate to advance GPS-independent quantum navigation for autonomous maritime missions.
• The Madison-based company is developing diamond-based magnetic sensors and AI processing to determine position underwater, underground and where GPS is disrupted or unavailable.
• The affiliation connects Dirac Labs with Wisconsin’s defense research network and supports Area 52, a proposed Lake Michigan testing ground for autonomous maritime systems.

PRESS RELEASE — Dirac Labs, a Madison-based quantum-enabled navigation company, today announced that it has joined the Wisconsin Security Research Consortium (WSRC) as an industry affiliate, providing resilient navigation alternatives to enable autonomous maritime missions. 

WSRC, led by the Wisconsin Technology Council, connects Wisconsin’s universities, technology manufacturers and government partners to advance defense research and economic development opportunities in the state. Dirac Labs’ affiliation builds on the Autonomous Heartland effort to position Wisconsin — with its shipyards, airspace, industrial base, workforce, and research anchors — at the center of America’s autonomous and maritime future. Along with the Sagamore Institute, the Midwest Defense Accelerator and TitletownTech, WSRC supports the growing Area 52 initiative.
