Davidson Technologies

A US-based firm providing engineering, technical and management solutions for the defence industry.

In 2023, demonstrated a solution that identified in seconds the optimal choice of 67MM scenarios to counter a missile attack.

Challenges

Solution

Results

A missile attack needs an optimal and immediate response that considers many variables

Simulated a long-range ballistic missile attack under non-ideal conditions on a D-Wave annealer

In ~13 seconds, found an optimal intercept solution from >67MM scenarios that would suggest a 96.6% survival rate for the targeted city
