UK Firm To Provide Nationwide Air And Sea Threat Protection
MARSS has secured a £370 million contract with Kuwait to deliver a nationwide counter-drone defense system, including hard-kill interceptors and an AI-enabled command center. The system will utilize a network of electro-optical, radar, and sonar sensors to provide hemispherical coverage against airborne and coastal seaborne drones. MARSS will deploy its NiDAR command and control system, which integrates soft-kill and hard-kill effectors, allowing operators to select the most appropriate response for each situation. The agreement is part of the UK government’s Taskforce Sabre initiative, aiming to support Gulf states in rapidly securing necessary defense systems. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
