MARSS signed a £370 million contract with Kuwait to provide a nationwide counter‑drone defence system that includes hard‑kill interceptors.
The system will cover air and sea threats through electro‑optical, radar and sonar sensors installed at multiple sites that feed data to central command centres, using NiDAR, the UK firm’s AI‑enabled command and control platform, to fuse information and deliver hemispherical coverage of airborne and coastal seaborne drones; operators can select soft‑kill or hard‑kill effectors integrated and controlled via NiDAR.
The agreement follows earlier UK support for Kuwait with the Rapid Sentry ground‑based air‑defence missile system and the RAF’s ORCUS system, and forms part of the UK government’s Taskforce Sabre initiative.
