MARSS Launches Cutting-Edge Control Center for Next-Gen Patrol Units and Craft
This progression of the innovative MARSS NiDAR command and control architecture is groundbreaking for users of various small tactical platforms involved in governmental surveillance, border monitoring, coastguard responsibilities, critical asset protection, and special operations.
Implementing NiDAR on a variety of lightweight vehicles, crafts, or UAVs—including fast patrol boats, light tactical ground vehicles, lightweight aircraft, and autonomous platforms—transforms them into an entirely interconnected mobile tactical surveillance network. A cohesive overview can be accessed and managed from any selected unit or via a command center.
As a fully integrated command and control framework, NiDAR can be deployed or retrofitted onto almost any device, irrespective of its dimensions. This solution integrates various sensors, such as cameras, radar, sonar, communication systems, and blue force tracking inputs, enabling the detection and tracking of both identified and unidentified aerial, surface, and underwater entities.
Rob Balloch, VP Sales for MARSS, expressed, “We are highly excited about this advancement of NiDAR as it signifies the inaugural lightweight command and control system capable of amalgamating all surveillance assets into a unified tactical overview.”
“Whether it’s sonar on a patrol craft, radar on a light patrol vehicle, or electro-optics on a drone, all can be managed and coordinated from a single asset, with information rapidly disseminated across all other units. It serves as a force multiplier for military operations, equipping small platforms with functionalities akin to larger systems.”
NiDAR is platform-neutral, delivering a versatile and cost-effective tactical upgrade capable of integration with a wide spectrum of sensors and communication alternatives. NiDAR can also be incorporated into existing frameworks without limitations on the quantity of platforms and sensors that can be assimilated into the network.
In addition to NiDAR, MARSS can supply all necessary sensors to convert any current fleet of lightweight patrol vehicles, boats, and other assets into a seamlessly interconnected mobile tactical surveillance system.
Recently, MARSS completed the sale and integration of a networked NiDAR system for an undisclosed fleet of small special operations patrol vessels.
