is this the same thing as the quantum navigation system tested by the Royal Navy, or something different?

Looks like they're different. OP is using muons (Cosmic rays) and the Royal Navy one is using some quantic properties to track movements more precisely (fancier dead reckoning)
The Royal Navy’s system uses a Bose Einstein condensate as a part of an IMU. This system is referencing muons passing through.
Can you explain or provide reference explaining how this works?
