Wavefront Systems, MARSS and Forcys have concluded a week-long demonstration of state-of-the-art underwater and multi-domain security systems, hosted at Portland Port, in Dorset, UK. The event gave defence and commercial maritime stakeholders an opportunity to witness integrated detection systems responding to live staged threats across air, surface and sub-surface domains.
Each day culminated in a dramatic stealth insertion scenario, with a high-speed insertion craft deploying a dive team in an attempt to breach port security – supported by an airborne drone, simulating a simultaneous incursion, said the companies in a joint press release. Demonstration observers were able to watch the threat unfold in real time as Wavefront’s Sentinel Intruder Detection Sonar (IDS) and MARSS’ NiDAR Command and Control (C2) platform worked in tandem to detect, track, classify and respond to the incursions from underwater and the air.
“At the heart of the demonstration was the integration of Sentinel IDS into the NiDAR C2 platform. These technologies paired to deliver seamless situational awareness and rapid decision-making opportunities throughout the exercise,” said the release. “NiDAR, developed by MARSS, is a sensor-agnostic, multi-domain surveillance and security platform that integrates data from a wide array of sensors – including sonar, radar, RF, and EO/IR to deliver a unified, real-time operating picture on a single pane. Powered by Hybrid Intelligence, NiDAR’s automated detection, tracking, classification and response recommendation allows single operators to monitor whole areas without being overwhelmed – a task which would require a whole team of trained operators in a conventional C2.”
