Helios Visions uses Swift Navigation's Skylark for drone cleanup

Helios Visions Uses Swift Navigation’s Skylark™ RTK to Power Drone-Based Environmental Cleanup When an emergency river cleanup in Chicago required fast, high-precision mapping, Helios Visions faced a major challenge: the hazardous, constantly changing environment made it difficult to quickly deploy physical RTK base stations. Instead, they used Skylark, streaming corrections directly to their drones via the Internet. This enabled them to achieve the centimeter-level accuracy they required whilst also staying mobile. “Swift Navigation was critical for us to complete this mission with RTK precision. We needed to be extremely mobile in this emergency. Setting up and breaking down base stations was not an option due to time limitations. We decided to go with Swift’s Skylark Precise Positioning Service for our drone operations. This not only allowed us to have a mobile RTK connection, but it was so good that we were able to take off and land with a converged RTK connection from a small boat.” – Tyler Gibson, Co-Founder, Helios Visions. In urgent missions where the terrain is unforgiving and time is short, mobility and precision win the day.
