Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd

Star Navigation Systems Group is a company in connected aircraft technology. Its work covers inflight computing and intelligent flight analytics. It builds systems that gather and study flight data while the aircraft is airborne. It says this supports the next generation of smart connected aircraft.

The company's main product is the Star-ISMS, an inflight safety monitoring system. It is a processor and server that connects to eight onboard computer systems and the flight data recorder, often called the black box. It reads data over standard aircraft data buses named ARINC 717 and 429.

The system studies data at the aircraft's network edge and watches for unusual readings. It checks parameters from power on to power off. It sends a live data stream to the ground through Iridium satellites. Operators can set alerts when a limit is passed, and notices go out by text or email.

In an emergency, the system can send flight recorder data every 30 seconds. After each flight, it sends the full data from any airport over a cellular link. It then makes end of flight reports within moments of landing. This removes the need for manual data retrieval.

The second product is Star-A.D.S., or Airborne Data Services. It is a web tool for live aircraft and fleet tracking, flight watch and health monitoring. It shows engine condition trends to help plan maintenance. It can also show weather over a planned route, including rain, wind and icing.

The company says its tools work on aircraft of any age, model and type. The goals are better safety, more efficient operations, less unplanned maintenance and lower fuel costs. A history of flight data can be replayed in 2D and 3D, studied with analytics and used for reports.

The site also describes a digital twin of aircraft operations, maintenance and engines. A digital twin is a computer copy of a real system. The website has product pages and a contact page for operators who want to learn more.
