Beijing, China & Madrid, Spain, May 22, 2025.

Hi-Target, a renowned Chinese leading high-precision positioning enterprise and manufacturer of high-end GNSS equipment, and GMV, a globally recognized technology group specializing in advanced navigation solutions, have established a strategic alliance to jointly develop integrated differential service solutions. Through this partnership, Hi-Target and GMV support a wide range of automation-driven positioning applications—including ADAS, robotics, UAVs, precision agriculture, smart infrastructure, and intelligent mobility systems.

The collaboration between both companies drives the development of integrated differential services aimed at automated applications in sectors such as automotive, robotics, UAVs, and precision agriculture.

The agreement combines Hi-Target’s expertise in satellite navigation with GMV’s track record in algorithms and global augmentation services, with the goal of delivering high-availability, low-latency positioning.

As industries progressively adopt automated technologies, precise and reliable positioning has become a foundational requirement across application domains. From today’s L2 and L2+ driver assistance systems (ADAS) in vehicles to autonomous UAV operations, robotic platforms, and the emerging needs of Level 3+ mobility solutions, the demand for scalable and high-accuracy positioning continues to grow. The strategic alliance between the two companies leverages Hi-Target’s strengths in high-precision satellite navigation and user-grade GNSS systems, along with GMV’s extensive global expertise in precise navigation algorithms and satellite-based augmentation services. The result will be a high-availability, low-latency positioning service with global reach.

By combining their complementary technologies—including user-grade GNSS hardware, correction services, and augmentation infrastructure— Hi-Target and GMV will facilitate the adoption of high-precision positioning across various industries and geographic regions. Their collaboration will support system integrators, OEMs, and solution providers in accelerating the development and deployment of automation in sectors with increasing levels of autonomy.
