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.
