The Times of India reports that Japan is developing a quantum magnetic sensor for airborne submarine detection, small enough to mount on drones and deploy from warships. The outlet frames the technology as a way to track China’s expanding undersea presence, saying China’s submarine fleet is projected to reach 80 boats by 2035. It also asks whether similar sensors could help India monitor underwater activity in the Indian Ocean.
