Two leading innovators in maritime technology have forged a strategic partnership to address the growing global challenge of GPS jamming and spoofing in commercial and defence maritime operations.
The partnership will integrate Hefring Marine's patented maritime technology with MSRS Navigation's proven GPS-denied navigation capabilities to create a comprehensive solution for both government and commercial maritime applications.
The new integrated system will help prevent vessels from running aground and provide reliable navigation capabilities in areas where GPS signals are compromised.
"The increasing frequency and sophistication of GPS jamming and spoofing incidents worldwide are causing significant disruptions to maritime operations, resulting in logistics delays and substantial costs to the shipping industry,” said Joshua Burton, CEO of MSRS Navigation. "By combining our technologies, we're developing a solution that will ensure reliable navigation even in challenged environments."
"Our collaboration with MSRS underscores our commitment to pioneering data-driven solutions through the IMAS platform, enhancing safety and operational readiness across maritime operations." said Karl Birgir Björnsson, CEO at Hefring Marine. "Our shared expertise in serving professional mariners and defence customers, coupled with our complementary technological capabilities, make this partnership particularly powerful."
Development of the integrated solution is already underway, with a trial version expected to launch in Q1 2025.
