Swift Navigation founders Colin Beighley and Fergus Noble met at startup Joby Energy in 2009, where they worked together on a project for high-altitude kite-like airborne wind turbines. They soon realized there were no GPS products on the market to meet their performance requirements, so they began creating a prototype of their own to guide the kites. After Joby Energy became a Google X project, Beighley and Noble decided to focus on making the GPS technology they had been developing into something more useful for the autonomous vehicle, autonomous systems and robotics industries and Swift Navigation took off. Tim Harris, Swift’s third co-founder and CEO joined the company in 2012 and Swift started developing the technology with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in mind, but realized there was a much broader use for the company’s precise GPS solutions. Today Swift Navigation’s real-time kinematics (RTK) GPS and GNSS positioning technology is providing centimeter-level accuracy for autonomous vehicles, UAVs, precision agriculture, robotics, surveying, space applications and more.
