Cesium beam clocks are old tech. U.S. Naval Obeservatory (the US time standard) and the US Military use Rubidium Beam clocks. Smaller, and much more accurate.
As a submariner, I have a question. Is it a detectable signal? If so, then it does us, in the submarine force, no good. We STILL are the Silent Service. Oh, girls are still not allowed in submarines. The policy has not changed. Even the most vocal groups that want woman in the submarine force have stated that it would be a mistake to put them on the boats.
