This work presents a study on quantum remote sensing applied to national defense using RADAR (Radio Detection and Ranging) and LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) technologies, which can be adopted in metrology and remote sensing processes, capable of detecting and intercepting targets in a given coverage area. In this context, the work presents a bibliographic research addressing concepts, principles of quantum mechanics, basic configurations, methods of photon entanglement, projects, experiments, and potential applications of RADAR and LIDAR systems, highlighting advantages and aspects, such as speed, greater precision, lower cost, greater security guarantee, higher sensitivity, and resolution of quantum remote sensing operation, as well as associated challenges: photon loss, technical difficulties, the phenomenon of decoherence, sensitivity to noise, and the need for integration of quantum remote sensing systems with quantum error correction modules.
