Realizing resilient interstellar transit requires autonomous navigation systems capable of operating without external positioning architecture. While quantum inertial navigation systems (INS) offer high-precision, drift-resistant tracking utilizing quantum sensing mechanics, their control loop vulnerabilities under extreme environmental stressors remain unquantified. This paper addresses the critical research gap between ideal Hamiltonian-based quantum control frameworks and their performance degradation under harsh space environment exposure. We develop a high-fidelity digital twin modeling framework to simulate environmental degradation vectors on a quantum INS architecture. System resilience is rigorously analyzed across multi-attribute parameters, including comparative trajectories, control stability margins, and non-linear sensitivity analysis via multi-variate Monte Carlo simulations. The computational results define exact failure thresholds and structural vulnerabilities within the quantum control loop. Ultimately, this work provides a framework for engineering environmental shielding and robust control margins essential for next-generation deep-space guidance systems.
