Electro Optic Systems (EOS) has announced that its primary command-and-control business has been selected for BAE Systems’ new counter-drone technology.
EOS’ MARSS command-and-control (C2) capabilities have been officially picked by BAE Systems to provide the key C2 capabilities in its new “Anti Threat System” (BATS), targeting uncrewed aerial systems (UAS).
MARSS uses an AI-powered C2 system, NiDAR, to gather data from multiple sources to identify and respond to aerial threats.
EOS said this will act as the main “intelligent nerve centre” for BATS, through the integration of effectors within the system.
“This selection by BAE underscores MARSS’ position as one of very few companies with the ability to deliver advanced, AI-powered C2 platforms that accelerates decision making from minutes to seconds across detection, classification and defeat,” the company said in a statement.
“This capability positions MARSS as an ideal partner to support BAE Systems as it delivers market-leading CUAS solutions to meet the growing demand from NATO and international clients.”
BATS is a modular system that can connect to multiple sources to generate and gather real-time analysis to respond to UAS threats. The open architecture is a key feature that will allow the system to be easily used across multiple existing and future platforms.
