Precision Agriculture

Swift Navigation offers the ruggedized, weatherproof Duro GNSS receiver that delivers repeatable, reliable pass-to-pass performance and utilizes precision corrections via the cloud from Skylark for auto-steering applications to enable autonomous tilling, spraying, planting and harvesting at a fraction of the cost. Whether built into navigation systems or added to equipment as an aftermarket capability, Swift’s high-precision GNSS solutions help improve fuel usage, reduce row overlap, monitor fertilizer and seed placement, track equipment and aid navigation-focused tasks.

Ideal for outdoor field conditions with an IP67 rating and sealed connectors
Easily integrated into existing equipment as an aftermarket capability
Reliable, highly-accurate GNSS solutions for auto-steering applications

Automotive Production Solution

Protection Level down to 1m and a Target Integrity Risk (TIR) down to 10^-7
Positioning in an Earth fixed datum delivering a common frame of reference
Real-time, highly-accurate corrections to reduce convergence times

Designed for autonomy and built to scale for automotive, Swift Navigation delivers absolute positioning for safety-critical autonomous vehicle applications. Swift offers a lane-level positioning production solution that is designed for easy integration by OEMs to deliver precise positioning to future fleets. The receiver-agnostic Starling positioning engine easily integrates with the automotive sensor suite and pulls corrections from Skylark to deliver absolute positioning for safety-critical autonomous vehicle applications.

Centimeter-Accurate Hardware

Swift Navigation offers GNSS receivers that deliver robust RTK positioning performance in a variety of environments, have fast convergence and reacquisition times measured in seconds and access to multiple satellite constellations for robust availability and reliability.

Last-mile Delivery

Swift Navigation offers a highly-accurate, highly-reliable GNSS positioning solution that is ideal for last-mile deliveries. The Starling positioning engine enhances the measurements of commercially available GNSS receivers and when paired with the nationwide Skylark cloud corrections service, fleet managers can optimize delivery routes, minimize fuel and operational costs and crowd-source information to reduce delays. Accurate localization makes it possible to track drivers along their assigned routes in real time.

Improve tracking for optimal operational fleet efficiency
Reduce costs with real-time delivery localization information
Inertial sensor support for accuracy in GNSS-denied areas like urban canyons

Positive Train Control

Swift Navigation makes it possible to achieve track determination and precise car location with Positive Train Control (PTC) using the ruggedized, dual-frequency Duro Inertial RTK GNSS receiver with an inertial measurement unit (IMU) that allows for continuous centimeter-accurate positioning in the harshest of environments. Skylark cloud corrections service provides an alternative to traditional balises with real-time localization without long convergence times over an area that spans a nation.

Skylark supports fleet positioning and railway operations
High-precision receivers are ideal for implementing PTC
Inertial technology combined with GNSS delivers robust positioning

Global Constellation Support

The American constellation (GPS L1/L2) consists of 24 satellites
The Russian constellation (GLONASS G1/G2) consists of 24 satellites
The Chinese constellation (BeiDou B1/B2) which—once completed—will contain 37 satellites
The European Union-based constellation (Galileo E1/E5b), will eventually consist of 30 satellites

Swift Navigation’s GNSS receivers are multi-band and multi-constellation and support GPS L1/L2, GLONASS G1/G2, BeiDou B1/B2, Galileo E1/E5b for RTK measurements and positioning and SBAS for robust sub-meter positioning in non-RTK mode. The support of multiple constellations creates more robust positioning performance in a variety of challenging skyview environments.
