$4.83 billion is the projected size of the aerospace and defense quantum computing market by 2030, according to a new industry report forecasting 13.7% annual growth.
Threat detection, situational awareness and quantum-secure communications are the main growth drivers, alongside demand for quantum algorithms in aircraft design, simulation, logistics and defense analytics.
Strategic partnerships are accelerating adoption: IonQ and General Dynamics Information Technology teamed up in February 2025 on government and defense uses including AI, anomaly detection and geospatial processing.
Quantum-safe networking is also expanding, with Nokia, Honeywell Aerospace Technologies and Numana launching work in June 2025 on Montreal's Kirq testbed to secure satellite and terrestrial communications.
With private investment in quantum lagging far behind AI, can government funding alone win the race for a secure quantum future?
If quantum-inspired software already boosts defense systems on classical hardware, is the costly race for true quantum computers actually necessary?
As we race to build quantum defenses, who is securing the quantum systems themselves from new, undiscovered vulnerabilities?
