Starling Positioning Engine

High-precision positioning engine designed for automotive applications that require centimeter or decimeter accuracy using GNSS and dead reckoning sensor fusion

Starling works with a variety of GNSS chipsets and inertial sensors, making it ideal for mass-market autonomous applications. Starling’s software is written in standard C++ and runs on a variety of compute platforms. Starling utilizes the measurements from commercially available GNSS receivers to provide centimeter-accurate results with high integrity. Starling supports the calculation of precise position, velocity and time (PVT) and when combined with inertial sensor measurements, wheel odometry and other sensor inputs, Starling can assist with localization, decision and control.

    Designed for Automotive Safety

    Starling is engineered from the ground up to comply with the automotive industry functional-safety standardISO 26262 for Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL)-B safety standards. When used in combination with Swift’s Skylark precise positioning service, Starling offers industry leading Protection Levels (PL) and Target Integrity Risk (TIR).

    Software Solution

    Starling, used in conjunction with Skylark, supports both multi-frequency and legacy, single-frequency GNSS solutions to deliver substantial performance improvements to accuracy and repeatability—often without requiring any hardware redesign.  

  • starling 5

    Constellation Configurable

    Starling is capable of running in real time and in post processing, allowing customers the flexibility to configure Starling to suit their system level requirements from the number of constellations tracked to the output rate desired. Starling supports GPS L1/L2/L5, GLONASS G1/G2, BeiDou B1/B2a/B2b, Galileo E1/E5b/E5a and SBAS.
