I really hope this means another attempt to use the magnetosphere itself. MAGNAV might actually be possible at this point.
Edit: better article. AI advancements make MAGNAV a real possibility now. https://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/3408951/magnav-project-successfully-demonstrates-real-time-magnetic-navigation/
No, the "better" article has a buzzword to information ratio of 3:1.
How does that handle high tension lines and the like, doesn't it disturb the magnetosphere far too much? Kinda the reason even compasses don't work anymore in town?
this would also be susceptible to magnetic field switching as well, shouldnt be a huge technical limitation, but im not sure accuracy is going to be quite as good.
No idea. I think there's a lot of machine learning - enabled mapping up front.
