abstract: >-
Open, reproducible simulator for hybrid quantum/classical positioning,
navigation and timing (PNT). Quantifies the performance, autonomy, and
resilience advantage of quantum clocks, quantum inertial sensors, and optical
time transfer over classical PNT, scored against operational figures of merit,
with every sensor parameter traceable to a published source.
