MARSS, a global leader in AI-powered security solutions, recently completed a successful evaluation of its cutting-edge C-UAS system in the Middle East. The two-day trial in mid-August showcased the system’s ability to detect, track, classify and neutralise various drone threats, including fixed-wing, VTOL, micro and mini drones.
In extreme temperatures exceeding 50°C (122°F), MARSS’s integrated solution performed under complex conditions, with detection capabilities reaching over two kilometres.
The trial demonstrated the system’s effectiveness using a mix of cutting-edge technologies from partner vendors. MARSS integrated BlueHalo’s short and long-range RF detection, L3 Harris’s long-range EO/IR cameras, Echodyne’s 360-degree radar-web and Kirintec’s RF defeat systems into their NiDAR platform.
This combination provided rapid response capabilities through a unified interface, greatly reducing decision-making time and minimizing cognitive strain on operators. The system neutralised all targets using RF soft-kill technologies. The system exceeded expectations by proving effective against micro-drones and performing during both day and night operations.
Josh Harman, Vice President of Sales at MARSS, praised the team’s flawless execution under challenging conditions, highlighting the system’s reliability and integration process. Khalid Albadr, Business Development Manager for the Middle East, emphasised the importance of detecting micro-drones, critical for many clients’ security concerns.
The trial marks a key step in the competitive bid process, with the attendance of representatives from multiple agencies interested in infrastructure protection, defence and border security. MARSS continues to reinforce its role as a leader in delivering comprehensive security solutions in complex environments.
