Xairos Selected for Netherlands Ministry of Defence Quantum Challenge
Xairos Systems, Inc. (Xairos UK, Ltd.), a space-based quantum technology company, announces its selection by the Materiel and IT Command (COMMIT), a division of the Netherlands Ministry of Defence, to be part of the Purple NECtar Quantum Challenges initiative. This recognition underscores the importance of quantum technology in strengthening security and innovation.
Together with partners QuDef, a leader in quantum security, and Qubitrium, developer of compact space-qualified quantum hardware, Xairos is creating a demonstration of groundbreaking solutions that push the boundaries of quantum-secure communications and applications to address increasing needs for security and resilience in Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT).
Over the next eight months, the team will participate in live exercises of Quantum Time Transfer (QTT) using secure clock syntonization (frequency) and synchronization (time) for GNSS- and RF-denied areas to address the needs outlined by COMMIT, culminating in a real-time demonstration at Purple NECtar/Innovation in Defence in November 2025, where the best solutions will earn a follow-up assignment.
'We are honored to be recognized by the Netherlands Ministry of Defence, and to work with Qubitrium on creating a smaller hardware quantum payload for UAS applications in the future, and with QuDef to evaluate and improve the security of this critical system,' said David Mitlyng, CEO of Xairos.
'Our team has been evaluating quantum communication systems, so we look forward to working with Qubitrium and Xairos on developing quantum timing designs that are resilient in the toughest RF- and GNSS-denied environments,' said Bob Dirks, CEO of QuDef.
'Qubitrium has a long heritage with miniaturized quantum communication systems, for cubesats in particular, so we appreciate the opportunity to demonstrate our capabilities and deliver on our promise at the Purple NECtar event,' said Kadir Durak, CEO of Qubitrium.

2025 Mazda MX-5 (Miata) lease offer for June 2025
There are few roadsters out there that have survived the test of time like the Maita has. The Miata is now in its fourth generation, and Mazda isn't likely to discontinue the model anytime soon, with rumors that future generations may even be electrified. If you want to see what the Miata is all about, June might be the time to buy one, as Mazda has dropped some pretty exciting lease offers, considering the current automotive market. The lease offers for the 2025 model year Miata apply to both the Grand Touring and the RF Grand Touring (hardtop) with the manual transmission. If you're in the Los Angeles or Denver area, you can get a Miata Grand Touring for $503 a month / 48 months, with $3,999 due at lease signing and a $650 acquisition fee rolled into the monthly payments. That lease also has a 10,000-mile-per-year requirement. Prefer an RF hardtop? That lease offer increases to $562 a month / 48 months with the same $3,999 due at signing. The same mileage conditions and acquisition fee apply. Miami residents get a slightly better deal. The regular Grand Touring lease drops to $425 a month / 36 months with $2,499 due at lease signing and the same conditions, while the RF hardtop increases to $607 a month / 36 months with $2,499 due at lease signing. Live in New York? That same Grand Touring lease increases to $529 a month / 36 months with $2,999 due at lease signing and the same conditions. The RF hardtop offer is the same, at $607 a month / 36 months with $2,999 due at lease signing and the same conditions. Potential lessees who want to save money on the upfront costs can pay $0 at signing, with some adjustments to the monthly payment. We have estimated the monthly payments by spreading the amount at signing over the lease's term. Los Angeles and Denver residents opting for a regular Grand Touring would pay approximately $83 more per month, resulting in a payment of around $586. That same increase counts for the RF hardtop, too, resulting in a monthly payment of around $645. Miami residents wanting a Grand Touring with $0 down would pay an additional $69 per month for a total payment of around $494. That increase added to the RF hardtop would increase monthly payments to around $676. As for New Yorkers, their $0 Grand Touring Miata would pay $83 more per month for a total payment of around $612. The RF hardtop brings the same increase for a monthly payment of about $690. *This $0 down figure is an estimation. Official $0 down lease offers from Mazda may differ based on their specific calculations, credit approval, and potential money factor adjustments. Always obtain a quote directly from Mazda. The current model year Miata continues the tradition of lightweight motoring set by its ancestors. All trims use a 2.0L inline-four cylinder engine mated to either a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission. All 181 horses and 151 lb-ft. of torque are sent to the rear wheels, just the way the car gods intended. The top Grand Touring trim, if you don't count the 35th Anniversary Edition, adds a few luxury items into the mix, like special machine-cut 17-inch wheels, automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers, door sill trim plates, an auto-dimming driver's side mirror, automatic climate control, leather-trimmed seats, Mazda's navigation system, adaptive headlights, and more. Lease offers can vary based on location and specific vehicle configuration (trim level, options, etc.) and are subject to credit approval. Advertised payments typically exclude taxes, title, registration, and other potential fees.
