MARSS passes major milestone in multi-site defence project in the Middle-East

MARSS has successfully completed the second Site Acceptance Test (SAT) for its flagship 5-year, $50 million multi-site programme

The multi-site security programme will protect a series of nine critical infrastructure sites across the Middle East, all networked into a centralised national command centre.

At its latest site, MARSS will use a combination of multi-domain-layered systems protecting against underwater, surface and air threats. This will include different types of radars, cameras and sonar systems to provide short-to-medium-range protection across the site, and electronic countermeasures integrated to base defence systems.

Having expanded from just a handful of employees to over 40 project managers, engineers, technicians and support personnel in just three years, MARSS is well placed to deliver and support defence, safety and surveillance programmes such as these across the Middle East.

During the acceptance test, the NiDAR system demonstrated successful detection and tracking of surface and air threats with various radar cross sections, AI-based classification and successful threat defeat. Employing AI into a fully integrated end-to-end solution, MARSS’s systems were able to dramatically reduce the decision cycle to better protect assets against threats at greater ranges than ever before.
