Modern defence systems depend on physics-driven models, from aerodynamics and materials to electromagnetic propagation and thermal management. These models rely on Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) that are computationally intensive and demand extreme accuracy. 

With ColibriTD’s hybrid quantum-classical platform QUICK, defence innovators can explore how quantum computing will enable faster, more precise, and sovereign simulation capabilities, securing technological independence in critical domains.

1.
Electromagnetic Simulation and Radar Stealth

Defence communication, detection, and stealth systems depend on large-scale Maxwell’s equations simulations in highly complex environments. These models require extreme numerical precision to capture wave propagation, reflection, and absorption accurately, especially across multiple frequency bands.

Using our algorithm H-DES, QUICK enables the fast and accurate resolution of electromagneticfield equations, allowing defence engineers to model and optimize Radar CrossSection (RCS) and stealth performance.

Ballistic and Structural Dynamics Modeling

Simulating impact,penetration, or detonation events involves solving non-linear, multi-physics PDEs that couple mechanical deformation, thermal transfer, and fluid dynamics. Traditional solvers often struggle to maintain precision and stability under these extreme, transient conditions.

Powered by H-DES, QUICK efficiently handles these complex coupled models, maintaining high numerical accuracy even at large scales. Defence R&D teams can virtually test materials, armor, and structural integrity under real-world stress conditions, reducing dependency on physical testing.

Wave Propagation and Atmospheric Phenomena Simulation

Understanding how waves (acoustic, seismic, or electromagnetic) propagate through complex orchanging media is essential for surveillance, communication, and guidance systems. These phenomena are governed by propagation PDEs that become extremely demanding in realistic, turbulent, or variable conditions.

QUICK simulates coupled wave propagation equations, accounting for turbulence, diffraction, and scattering effects. Defence teams can use these models to improve sensor performance, communication reliability, and environmental awareness in operational planning.
