Table 1 TRL and time horizon expectations. These expectation reflect general TRL rather than just military TRL. Note that various quantum technologies are at different TRL within the same application

QKD (satellite) | 7-8 (6-7) | 2025 (2030) |
Post-quantum cryptography | 7-8 | 2025 |
Quantum communication network | 1-3 | 2030-2035 |
Quantum inertial navigation | 4-5 | 2025-2030 |
Quantum clocks | 4-6 | 2030 |
Quantum radar | 1-2 | none |
Quantum RF antenna | 4 | 2025-2030 |
Quantum magnetic and gravity sensing | 5-6 | 2025 |
