Precise Positioning and the Future of Scalable Autonomy: Q&A with Tim Harris, CEO of Swift Navigation
Swift Navigation recently announced a $50 million Series E funding round, marking a major milestone in its mission to deliver precise positioning at global scale. In this exclusive Q&A, CEO and Co-Founder Tim Harris discusses the evolution of Swift’s core product, Skylark™ Precise Positioning Service, and how it’s transforming industries through centimeter-level GNSS accuracy.
The Unexpected Journey to Self-Driving
When we think about self-driving cars, many of us picture a futuristic robotaxi with no steering wheel, whisking passengers through city streets. This “all or nothing” vision of autonomy, with fully driverless vehicles as the goal, has long been the North Star for the industry. While companies like Waymo and (more recently) Tesla have indeed launched limited robotaxi services in a handful of cities, the most impactful and widely accessible innovations in autonomous driving are emerging from a different, less flashy, but ultimately more pervasive path.
RTK for Robotic Lawn Mowers: Insights from Swift’s Customer Deployments
To explore the evolving landscape of RLM navigation and the role of high-precision GNSS, we sat down with Alberto Bushell, Regional Director, EMEA at Swift Navigation. With an engineering degree in geomatics and over 15 years in the GNSS industry, spanning both technical and commercial roles, Alberto brings unparalleled expertise in delivering advanced positioning solutions, particularly in the autonomous robotics sector.
How Skylark Defends Against GNSS Spoofing
Spoofing is no longer a niche concern—it’s a growing threat to GNSS-reliant systems across aviation, autonomy, and logistics. This article explains how Swift’s Skylark GNSS correction service defends against spoofing through secure infrastructure, anomaly detection, and validated satellite data.
Top 5 Industries Benefiting from Cloud-Based GNSS Correction Services
This post explores five key industries that are experiencing substantial benefits from the integration of cloud-based GNSS correction services in 2025.
TecSolutions Consultants Simplifies the Purchase and Setup of Utility Locating Solutions With GNSS Corrections From Swift Navigation
Utility locating crews need simple tools to achieve high accuracy location. TecSolutions is delivering that simplicity

The Critical Role of Precise GNSS in Autonomous Vehicles
On April 8, 2025, Swift Navigation partnered with the Society of Automotive Analysts to host a panel on the future
of precise GNSS positioning and its role in enabling safe, scalable autonomy— and to demonstrate its power by navigating a complex test circuit using only Swift’s GNSS solution, without any visual aid.
L1/L2 vs L1/L5: Evaluating Dual-Frequency GNSS for High Precision Applications
This article evaluates the differences between L1/L5 and L1/L2, and discusses how the L1/L5 combination is
emerging as a strong option for modern applications requiring high precision and reliability.
Which Skylark Variant Fits Your Use Case?
This article aims to provide a detailed exploration of Skylark’s three variants, helping users understand how each is
tailored to meet their specific needs.
What are the Different GNSS Correction Methods?
This blog delves into the primary GNSS correction methods-Differential GNSS (DGNSS), Satellite-Based
Augmentation Services (SBAS), Real-Time Kinematic (RTK), Precise Point Positioning (PPP), and PPP-RTK-
examining their features, advantages, limitations, and use cases.
