Co-located with:
Jeremy Raley
Fellow L3Harris Technologies
Dr. Raley is a Fellow at L3Harris Technologies where he guides research investments to maximize the mission relevance of the company's government-focused product lines. He retired from military service in December 2025 after serving over 28 years in the Space Force and Air Force. In previous roles, he led research and development efforts at Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO). In his final posting at AFRL, he oversaw quantum research exploring improvements to communications, navigation, and sensing. He has also led acquisition activities at the Space Rapid Capabilities Office (SpRCO) and at the Space and Missile Systems Center's Rapid Reaction Branch.
DAY 1 THURSDAY JUNE 25TH
2:30 PM Sensor Systems: The tipping point to quantum
In all domains, higher performing sensors can extend reach, reveal concealed objects, enable GPS-denied PNT, and provide faster warnings of approaching threats. Scientific, medical, commercial, and defense use cases will benefit. Quantum sensors are rapidly increasing in maturity and promise fundamentally higher sensitivities yet still require development in packaging and integration. Additionally, their real-world performance on deployed platforms remains to be tested. Specifications beyond sensitivity, such as dynamic range, bandwidth, linearity, and robustness will determine their true mission utility. L3Harris is tackling this challenge by focusing on quantum system integration and mission application analyses to determine the most effective ways to leverage these promising quantum technologies and achieve positive mission impacts within a reasonable timeframe.
