Hefring Marine has partnered with MSRS Navigation, with MSRS set to utilize Hefring’s advanced IMAS system to further the development of GPS-denied navigation solutions for the maritime industry.
This partnership brings together two trusted innovators in maritime technology to address the growing global challenge of GPS jamming and spoofing in commercial and defense maritime operations.
The collaboration between Hefring Marine and MSRS Navigation will combine Hefring Marine’s patented maritime technology with MSRS Navigation’s GPS-denied navigation capabilities to deliver a complete solution for government and commercial maritime applications. This integration leverages the complementary strengths of both companies’ technologies and their shared experience serving defense customers.
The new integrated system will help prevent vessels from running aground and provide reliable navigation capabilities in areas where GPS signals are compromised. This technology addresses a critical need in the maritime industry, where GPS disruption has become a growing concern affecting global shipping routes and maritime security.
Development of the integrated solution is already underway, with a trial version expected to launch in Q1 2025. The partnership, which originated through a mutual connection in the industry, represents a significant step forward in maritime navigation technology.
Joshua Burton, CEO of MSRS Navigation, commented, “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. By combining our technologies, we’re developing a solution that will ensure reliable navigation even in challenging environments.”
Karl Birgir Björnsson, CEO at Hefring Marine, also stated, “Our collaboration with MSRS underscores our commitment to pioneering data-driven solutions through the IMAS platform, enhancing safety and operational readiness across maritime operations.
