Approved event from Hybrid War Tracker
Finland will lead a new European defense initiative called Quest to explore military applications of quantum technologies, focusing on computing, sensing, and metrology. This project is part of the EU's Permanent Structured Cooperation (Pesco) framework and includes partners such as Germany, Denmark, Latvia, Italy, Sweden, Greece, and the Netherlands. The initiative seeks to advance encryption breaking, positioning in GPS-denied areas, and missile defense using global interconnectivity in battlefield-ready quantum capabilities. Finland's Ministry of Defense and VTT Technical Research Centre will coordinate the project. The program aims to build new quantum systems for military use, with research aligned to the EU’s goals of enhancing security and defense through cutting-edge quantum technology.
