“…Apart from the high price, scepticism also remains about the detection of stealthy targets or jamming resistance. Quantum radar can be advantageous against a barrage jammer, but not necessarily against a DRFM or other smart jammer [247]. In summary, the longrange surveillance quantum radar is unlikely to be achieved even as a long-term prospect.…”

“…Moreover, many people immediately imagine quantum radar as a long-range surveillance radar with a range of hundreds of kilometres, whereas such an application of quantum radar seems unlikely [247,248]. Such an optimal, long-term surveillance quantum radar would be extremely expensive (many orders of magnitude higher than the classical radar cost for any range) [247], and it would still not fulfil all the advantages and features listed above.…”

“…Briefly, the practical problems are the following [247]. Quantum radar too is subject to the radar equation, where the received power is lost with the distance's fourth power.…”

“…This requires a lot of quantum signal generators, cryogenics, large antenna sizes, etc. All this leads to extremely high cost, and impractical design [137,247]. Scientists need to come up with more practical quantum microwave technology to overcome these difficulties.…”

Quantum technology is an emergent and potentially disruptive discipline, with the ability to affect many human activities. Quantum technologies are dual-use technologies, and as such are of interest to the defence and security industry and military and governmental actors. This report reviews and maps the possible quantum technology military applications, serving as an entry point for international peace and security assessment, ethics research, military and governmental policy, strategy and decision making. Quantum technologies for military applications introduce new capabilities, improving effectiveness and increasing precision, thus leading to ‘quantum warfare’, wherein new military strategies, doctrines, policies and ethics should be established. This report provides a basic overview of quantum technologies under development, also estimating the expected time scale of delivery or the utilisation impact. Particular military applications of quantum technology are described for various warfare domains (e.g. land, air, space, electronic, cyber and underwater warfare and ISTAR—intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance), and related issues and challenges are articulated.

“… Quantum Radar Technology: Quantum radar technology is widely used in various disciplines, including target detection, object identification, operate in areas having high background noise, easily detect and filter out deliberate jamming attempts, a potential anti-stealth technology, and many more. Daum[49] discusses quantum RADAR's cost and practical issues compared to classical radars. In important findings, it has been observed that quantum radars are helpful in medical imaging, identifying stealthy targets in clutter, jamming, or chaff, and produce pure noise waveforms.…”

Due to recent advancements in quantum drones, the Internet of Quantum Drones (IoQDs), and Drone-to-Satellite connectivity, several advantages have been anticipated for real-time applications. This work examines quantum computing issues, including quantum data processing, techniques, circuits, and algorithms important for quantum drones or their networks. Here, we discussed the current research trends on quantum computing, quantum-safe computing, or post-quantum cryptography important to quantum networks, followed by the numerous advantages, limitations, future advancements, and research issues connected with quantum technologies, drones, and their network. This work has also prepared a taxonomy of quantum-related areas depending upon the logic of their learning, followed by a review of each of these areas. We review the most recent work over quantum algorithms used in various-quantum-related areas and networks, the role of quantum satellites for drone-based networks and communications, how quantum artificial intelligence and quantum machine learning are important for quantum drones, networks and futuristic applications, quantum attacks, quantum genetic algorithms, and the importance of post-quantum and quantum-safe cryptography. The challenges and research directions in these domains are explored as well. Lastly, this work presents an overview of the current state of knowledge in various promising technologies that are recently found to be important for quantum drones and networks.
