Navigation for platforms that cannot depend on GNSS.
Compact INS modules for drones, rockets and satellites, built around high-rate sensing, proprietary fusion and calibration for real flight environments.
The problem
The airframe should know where it is — even when the sky lies.
In contested airspace GNSS is the first thing to go. Jamming and spoofing are now routine — and a platform that loses its position loses the mission.
SwiftBird builds the self-contained inertial layer that keeps autonomous platforms navigating without external signals: selected sensors, proprietary fusion algorithms, high-rate processing and mission-specific calibration — fast, compact and independent.
Tested beyond
the desk.
SwiftBird is developed and evaluated with hardware in the loop: sensor data, embedded interfaces, calibration routines and mission envelopes are checked before integration decisions move forward.
How the technology works
A compact loop from sensing to guidance, designed to keep the platform oriented when external navigation is denied.

Mission specificEuropean by design
Built in Europe. Supplied by Europe. Ready for Europe.
We are proud to be a European aerospace company. Every SwiftBird product is designed around a European supply chain — from engineering and sourcing to assembly and support.
That means sovereign access to critical navigation capability, clear component provenance and an ITAR-free route from evaluation to deployment.

Company
European navigation hardware, built in Warsaw.
SwiftBird grew from high-dynamic sensing work around the Sztorm experimental rocket program, and today builds compact inertial navigation systems for European unmanned aircraft, rockets and satellites — as part of ESA BIC Poland.
We are building the team around sensor fusion, embedded electronics, calibration and flight integration. The work is small-team, hands-on and close to real hardware.
