MARSS has handed over its NiDAR-powered protection systems to two naval bases in the Middle East, which the company says are among the largest in the region.
The NiDAR platform provides a protective ‘dome’ over both sites, covering air, surface, and underwater threats including drones.
NiDAR uses real-time data fusion, enabling operators to detect, track, classify and respond to potential threats quickly. NiDAR 4D is MARSS’ next-generation AI-powered C2/C4 system, designed to provide comprehensive situational awareness and automated threat response across all domains. Sensor and effector agnostic, the platform integrates data from new and legacy sensors, including radar, sonar, EO/IR cameras, and RF detection; fusing all of this data onto a single screen. Powered by AI-driven threat analysis, NiDAR 4D autonomously classifies and prioritises risks and automated response recommendations suggest optimal countermeasures based on real-time intelligence.
MARSS partnered with other technology providers to integrate sensors and countermeasures. The deployed system includes, but is not limited to: Terma and Leonardo DRS RADA Technologies radar for wide-area surface and counter-UAS detection, BlueHalo RF detection, L3 EO/IR cameras, and Sonardyne sonar arrays for detecting and tracking underwater threats. Meanwhile, Kirintec’s EW countermeasures will also be deployed to defeat automated systems.
These projects represent a contract value exceeding USD 50 million.
