The multi-year scheme will be among the largest national defence programmes commissioned in Africa, delivering an AI-powered shield to protect Nigeria’s critical infrastructure and borders against asymmetric threats.
The MoU, signed in London on 19 March 2026, establishes a partnership between MARSS, the Nigerian Ministry of Defence, and local partners to deliver Nigeria’s first fully integrated national defence architecture.
Under the agreement, MARSS will deliver its NiDAR AI-powered C4I solution along with a training, spares and support programme. A new national command centre will also be commissioned, featuring a state-of-the-art Centre of Excellence to deliver ongoing training for Nigerian operators to maintain a high state of operational readiness.
Nigeria and the wider West African region face growing asymmetric threats from terrorism and organised insurgency. This programme will see MARSS working with its local partners to build sovereign capability, create a critical multi-domain defence architecture, and support the national security agencies in counter-terrorism operations.
“The UK and Nigeria share a deep, longstanding security and defence relationship. Signing this memorandum of understanding is a great example of our continued and strengthening partnership, with a British company able to deliver world leading, combat proven UK technology and defensive capabilities to support Nigeria’s fight against terrorism.”
- Minister for Defence at the House of Lords, Lord Coaker
The programme marks a significant commitment to one of the first national-scale adoptions of AI-enabled C4I in Africa. The programme scope includes:
Rob Balloch, Chief Growth Officer at MARSS said: “By integrating expeditionary vehicles, regional centres, and a new national headquarters into a single C4I tactical picture, NiDAR will provide a multi-dimensional layered defence capability that is both scalable and future-proofed in the fight against terrorism.”
This new programme will take advantage of two of NiDAR’s latest capability upgrades:
“The support of the UK Government and our local and international partners has been a major factor in bringing this project together,” Balloch added. “It is a huge endorsement of the UK’s position as an AI defence technology leader, with the ability to deliver this critical capability at scale with confidence.”
NiDAR is already in operation across more than 60 sites globally - protecting military and critical infrastructure installations. This latest contract is a further demonstration of how NiDAR’s AI-enabled C4I capability can be scaled to create a single, coherent operating picture from tactical deployments right through to strategic, national-level command.
