I really hope this means another attempt to use the magnetosphere itself. MAGNAV might actually be possible at this point.

Edit: better article. AI advancements make MAGNAV a real possibility now. https://www.af.mil/News/Article-Display/Article/3408951/magnav-project-successfully-demonstrates-real-time-magnetic-navigation/
How does that handle high tension lines and the like, doesn't it disturb the magnetosphere far too much? Kinda the reason even compasses don't work anymore in town?
No idea. I think there's a lot of machine learning - enabled mapping up front.
