MARSS Group is set to display its NiDAR surveillance technology at this year’s Red Sands exercise, demonstrating sensor fusion and end-to-end AI layered defense capabilities for detection to denial of unmanned aerial systems (UAS).
MARSS will join partners to demonstrate how integrating sensors and effectors into NiDAR provides a complete end-to-end layered defense. Enhanced with AI, this system delivers optimal efficiency from detection to denial.
MARSS has been working with sensor and hardware manufacturers to integrate the latest C-UAS innovations into NiDAR, introducing more configurations for users.
The ability to integrate with a myriad of effectors – including mobile and long-range systems – gives NiDAR the capabilities to defeat up to CAT3 drone threats. At the upcoming exercise, NiDAR has been selected as the C2 system of choice to integrate C-UAS effectors from the USA.
Last year’s event saw MARSS display its NiDAR C2 technology – an AI led system capable of autonomously identifying, categorizing and tracking potential threats.
MARSS is now partnering with third-party innovators on future C4 proposals, stretching into other domains, including NiDAR already being integrated on a range of autonomous vessels across the marine industry.
KSA Red Sands 24.2
The third edition of KSA Red Sands 24.2 is scheduled for September 2024. From 26 July to 8 August 2024, companies from across the globe will descend on Fort Drum, New York, to complete a full rehearsal.
The event will give future operators hands-on experience of how NiDAR can support in defeating hostile UAS.
Organized by ARCENT and DEVCOM (in coordination with the KSA Ministry of Defence), the theme for this year’s C-UAS exercise is the networking of sensors and countermeasures.
Josh Harman, MARSS VP of Business Development, commented; “MARSS offers a C4 that is scaled down to an essential C2 between the sensors, as this allows for an intuitive and seamless operational picture for the end user. It’s what the current market is missing – a one picture interface that simplifies integration, extends the decision timeline, removes clutter and automates the co-ordinated actions for a precision defeat.”
Jeff Tipton, Business Development Director in Defence at MARSS, added; “We are delighted to, once again, be invited to demonstrate MARSS’ cutting-edge technology for countering the growing UAS threat.
“This year’s theme of sensor fusion is what MARSS is renowned for around the world. We already provide end-to-end protection for a plethora of clients, so we’re really excited to be able to share our expertise with a range of prospective partners at this year’s Red Sands exercise.”
