A collaboration network of five technology centres to drive quantum computing in the field of defence and strategic sectors.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The ARQADE project applies quantum computing and artificial intelligence (AI) to solve critical security and defence challenges<\/strong>. Its objective is to develop solutions that modernise the Defence Industrial and Technological Base (DITB) and strengthen national technological sovereignty.<\/p>\n

The network develops capabilities in quantum algorithms, post-quantum cybersecurity, and secure communications<\/strong>. These tools are designed to be accessible and to eliminate the technical barriers that currently hinder the adoption of these technologies in strategic sectors.<\/p>\n

The project validates the technology in three operational scenarios<\/strong>: satellite image analysis for surveillance, route optimisation for drone swarms in high-risk missions, and precision navigation in environments where GPS signals are jammed or degraded.<\/p>\n

Despite its focus on defence, ARQADE has a dual-use approach. This allows advances in critical infrastructure protection or complex logistics to be transferred to essential civilian sectors <\/strong>such as energy or healthcare.<\/p>\n

Eurecat<\/strong> channels its participation through the QuantIA Lab<\/a>, which features a unique quantum emulation infrastructure in Catalonia.<\/strong> This environment enables the Quantum Computing<\/a>, Multimedia Technologies<\/a>, Applied Artificial Intelligence<\/a>, IT&OT Security<\/a>, and Robotics and Automation<\/a> units to work transversally, integrating their expertise in quantum algorithms, AI, and cybersecurity. This collaboration facilitates the development of practical applications in complex scenarios and ensures the direct transfer of technology to the productive sector.<\/p>\n

The ARQADE network of excellence brings together five technology centres: CTIC<\/a> (project coordinator), Eurecat<\/strong>, ITG<\/a>, ITI<\/a>, and Air Institute<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
