MARSS will participate for the second time, following its involvement in last year's Red Sands Live Exercise. During the event, MARSS showcased its NiDAR C2 technology - an AI-driven system that autonomously identifies, categorizes, and tracks potential threats.
This year's Counter-UAS exercise, organized by ARCENT and DEVCOM in coordination with the KSA Ministry of Defence, focuses on networking sensors and countermeasures. MARSS will demonstrate the integration of sensors and effectors into NiDAR, providing a comprehensive layered defense enhanced with AI for optimal efficiency from detection to neutralization.
The event will offer future operators hands-on experience with how NiDAR can assist in defeating hostile UAS.
Josh Harman, MARSS VP of Business Development, explains, "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 coordinated actions for a precision defeat."
For several years, MARSS has collaborated with leading sensor and hardware manufacturers, incorporating the latest CUAS innovations into the NiDAR integration list. This opens up more opportunities and configurations for current and new customers.
At the upcoming exercise, NiDAR has been selected as the C2 system of choice to integrate CUAS effectors from the USA, reflecting MARSS' position as a trusted and battle-proven C2 partner across the GCC.
MARSS' ability to integrate with a variety of effectors, depending on the client's mission requirements - including mobile and long-range systems - enables NiDAR to defeat up to CAT3 drone threats.
Jeff Tipton, Business Development Director in Defence at MARSS, commented on the upcoming exercise, "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."
MARSS is collaborating with third-party innovators on future C4 proposals, extending into other domains, including the integration of NiDAR on a range of autonomous vessels in the marine industry.
