US Military Makes Tiny Atomic Clock for Soldiers - Yahoo! News: "Every U.S. soldier may soon carry a miniaturized, cheaper version of the atomic clocks that ensure navigation and targeting accuracy for bombers and missiles.
The atomic time-keeping could not only provide backup for soldiers who temporarily lose GPS signals, but also boost the accuracy for soldier-carried weapons such as suicide drones or "smart" grenade launchers. The U.S. military has kicked off the final phase for manufacturing the Chip Scale Atomic Clock — a miniature atomic clock less than 1 cubic inch (15 cubic centimeters) and may end up costing just $300 compared to more expensive atomic clocks in the $10,000 range."
