Star Navigation $SNA.ca Announces STAR-LSAMM™ Land Ambulance System
- Recently announced that its R&D Department had completed development of its new In-Flight System Aided Medical Monitoring system for helicopter MEDEVAC applications
- Star is again pleased to announce that its R&D Department has now completed development of its Land System Aided Medical Monitoring system (“STAR-LSAMM™â€) for ground ambulance applications
- Directly addresses the need to improve the transmission of the medical data of a patient to a hospital, while still in transit
TORONTO, July 04, 2018 – Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd. (CSE:SNA) (CSE:SNA.CN) (OTCQB:SNAVF) (“Star†or the “Companyâ€) recently announced that its R&D Department had completed development of its new In-Flight System Aided Medical Monitoring system (“STAR-ISAMM™â€) for helicopter MEDEVAC applications (See June 4th News Release). Star is again pleased to announce that its R&D Department has now completed development of its Land System Aided Medical Monitoring system (“STAR-LSAMM™â€) for ground ambulance applications. Utilizing Star’s patented STAR-A.D.S. ® technology, (on-board, real-time flight data monitoring and tracking system), STAR-LSAMM™ directly addresses the need to improve the transmission of the medical data of a patient to a hospital, while still in transit. The ground STAR-LSAMM™ unit is smaller, lighter, and perfectly adapted to a ground transportation environment, while the STAR-ISAMM™ is for airborne applications.
The STAR-LSAMM™ system interfaces with existing bio-medical equipment aboard the Emergency Service Ground Vehicle. It securely transmits the patients’ vital signs and other critical information directly to receiving hospital physicians through SATCOM or GSM, as well as providing tracking and location of the vehicle. This allows the early assessment and initiation of the best possible care plan, well before the patient arrives.
Star is in discussions with several individuals in the Emergency Medical Service industry. These recent breakthroughs in Star’s technology have garnered the interest of some large companies operating in that field.
The STAR-LSAMM™ prototype has been successfully demonstrated and Star expects that this will significantly enhance:
- Interfacing with EMS, on the ground, improving on scene care and care in transit.
- Providing better patient care with a seamless hospital virtual environment. The patient will be already ‘admitted’ to the hospital care service while being transported.
Star intends to start fielding the STAR-LSAMM™ system upon receipt of regulatory approvals.
Star’s R&D department will continue to rapidly develop the system, with the addition of new features through technological evolution.

Star $SNA.ca Confirms GADSS Compatibility
- ICAO’s Concept of Operations recommends that starting in November 2018, there should be autonomous aircraft flight tracking every 15 minutes over oceanic areas,
- As of January 2021, that there should be autonomous location and tracking of aircraft in distress at least once every minute
- Star’s STAR-A.D.S. ® System already exceeds compliance with all of the ICAO GADSS recommendations and evolutions planned from 2018 to 2021 and beyond
TORONTO, June 11, 2018 — Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd. (CSE:SNA) (CSE:SNA.CN) (OTCQB:SNAVF) (“Star†or the “Companyâ€)  having participated in the International Civil Aviation Organization’s (“ICAOâ€)  Working Groups, was pleased to see that ICAO’s Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (“GADSSâ€) Advisory Group, formed in 2014, updated their Concept of Operations and Standard and Recommended Practices late last year.
The tragedies of Malaysia Airlines flight 370 and Air France flight 447 highlighted the limitations in the current air navigation system, which have hampered timely identification and localisation of aircraft in distress. This has also significantly hindered effective search and rescue efforts and recovery operations. On the rare occasions when accidents occur, rescuing survivors has the highest priority, followed by the recovery of the flight recorders. Analysis of data from these recorders is usually key to identifying the cause of the accident, and contributes towards enhancing safety.
In May 2014, ICAO convened a multiâ€disciplinary meeting with States, Industry, and related specialists to reach a common agreement in making global aircraft tracking a priority.
ICAO’s Concept of Operations recommends that starting in November 2018, there should be autonomous aircraft flight tracking every 15 minutes over oceanic areas, and as of January 2021, that there should be autonomous location and tracking of aircraft in distress at least once every minute.
Star’s STAR-A.D.S. ® System already exceeds compliance with all of the ICAO GADSS recommendations and evolutions planned from 2018 to 2021 and beyond.
It can securely and automatically track any type of retrofitted aircraft, worldwide.
Location and general flight data (position, flight level, heading etc.) are sent at pre-determined intervals on a routine flight, while all data are recorded. It can transmit real-time flight data and system alerts. The precision of localization of the system is within 1NM.
The STAR-A.D.S. ® System is compatible and fits with all existing information and data management procedures. All transmissions are encrypted and secured.
For future evolutions of the recommendation dealing with the recovery of flight data (and as the system records all relevant data on-board), it can automatically and securely download information directly to the ground as a ‘virtual black box’.
In addition, the STAR-A.D.S. ® system, upon completion of the flight, provides automatic generation of all End of Flight Reports, and historical flight information filing for post flight data mining.

Star Navigation Systems $SNA.ca Appoints Salwan Aviation Group As Exclusive Distributor For #India – Opens Office In New Delhi
- Announced the appointment of Salwan Aviation Group as its sole and exclusive Distributor in India for all Star products;
- As well as the opening of a Star office in New Delhi to provide technical, engineering and sales support
- Agreement provides for an initial term of one year
TORONTO, March 01, 2018 – Star Navigation Systems Group Ltd. (CSE:SNA) (CSE:SNA.CN) (OTCQB:SNAVF) (“Star” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Salwan Aviation Group as its sole and exclusive Distributor in India for all Star products, as well as the opening of a Star office in New Delhi to provide technical, engineering and sales support. The Salwan agreement provides for an initial term of one (1) year, renewable upon the achievement of sales targets.
The decision to create this partnership with Salwan Aviation and commit resources to India was driven by two important industry reports issued in the fourth quarter of 2017 as follows;
INTERNATIONAL AIR TRANSPORT ASSOCIATION (IATA) REPORT PROJECTS SUBSTANTIAL GROWTH OF INDIAN AVIATION MARKET
A report published by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in October 2017 concluded the following:
1. India will become the third largest aviation market in the world by 2025.
2. Indian airlines have over 800 planes on order and in the next five years are set to add 350-400 aircraft. Currently, all Indian airlines put together have a fleet of approximately 500 aircraft.
3. By 2036, India air passenger traffic will reach 478 million, surpassing air passenger traffic of Japan and Germany combined. Current India air passenger traffic totals 114 million.
CENTRE FOR ASIA PACIFIC AVIATION (CAPA) REPORT PROJECTS SUBSTANTIAL JOB GROWTH WITHIN INDIAN AVIATION INDUSTRY
A report published by the Centre For Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) in November 2017 concluded the following:
1. By 2027, India’s aviation market will generate close to 2.6 million direct and indirect jobs.
2. By 2027, India will need 16,800 pilots compared to the current total of 6,772 pilots.
3. By 2027, growth in cabin crew jobs will increase from the current 11,000 to 26,325.
4. By 2027, growth in maintenance engineers will increase from the current 14,420 to 34,972.
Viraf Kapadia, Chairman &CEO said: “The growth figures for aviation in India are massive and irrefutable after reading these reports. However, we believe this level of growth in aircraft, pilots and maintenance engineers will also pose safety and security challenges that will require the assistance of leading products and solutions from Star Navigation. Moreover, the ROI of our solutions will help these airlines reduce costs and run more efficiently in what is bound to be a very competitive market. The appointment of Salwan Aviation will ensure that Star will be part of those conversations from the very beginning.â€
