Hexagon to Acquire Guidance Marine for Maritime Positioning Sensors

Aug 26, 2026
Hexagon has agreed to acquire Guidance Marine, a UK maritime sensor company focused on relative positioning for vessels near offshore platforms, wind turbines, quaysides, and other ships.

Hexagon said in a press release it has agreed to acquire Guidance Marine, a maritime sensor company based in Leicester, United Kingdom.

Guidance Marine makes radar, laser, vision, and microwave sensing systems that measure a vessel's position relative to nearby structures, including offshore platforms, wind turbines, quaysides, and other vessels. Its systems are used with major Dynamic Positioning systems, which keep vessels in place without anchoring.

Hexagon said Guidance Marine's relative positioning sensors will complement its GNSS, positioning correction, anti jamming, and assured positioning systems. The deal is expected to close by the end of 2026, after which Guidance Marine will become part of Hexagon's NovAtel Positioning Division within its Autonomous Solutions Business Area.

Guidance Marine serves customers in more than 40 countries. The company generated about €22 million in revenue in the financial year ended December 31, 2025.

Tensordyne Napier: What If One Rack Could Do the Work of Nine?

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
