EOS has announced that its Command and Control (C2) business, MARSS, has been selected as C2 provider for BAE Systems’ Anti Threat System (BATS) – a next-generation, counter-drone (CUAS) capability.
The MARSS NiDAR platform will serve as the intelligent “nerve centre” for BAE Systems’ Anti Threat System, according to EOS in a press release. MARSS’ AI-powered C2 platform, NiDAR, will be used to integrate sensors and effectors across BAE Systems’ global BATS CUAS capability.
The collaboration agreement was signed at the Eurosatory Defence and Security Exhibition in Paris. MARSS will provide both software licensing and technical support for BAE Systems’ CUAS demonstrations and deployments. In time, this may give rise to customer contracts for BAE Systems and for MARSS.
Earlier, EOS announced it would set up a USD10 million European hub for AI-enabled counter-drone command and control (C2) systems in Nice, France. “The hub will be anchored by the headquarters of MARSS, the AI-enabled command-and-control specialist recently acquired by EOS….The investment is expected to create up to 150 jobs over three years, including high value-added engineering and software development roles.”
EOS recently completed the acquisition of MARSS’ defence business, uniting EOS’s effectors with MARSS’s AI-enabled command and control to create a global, integrated counter-drone solutions provider.
