NiDAR C4I Platform at Defense Show 2026

The NiDAR C4I platform will be demonstrated live at the World Defense Show 2026 in Riyadh from February 8-12, as MARSS brings a fully operational demonstrator to showcase its advanced multi-domain sensor fusion and autonomous mission management capabilities. The technology company, which already protects millions of lives globally, will offer visitors hands-on experience with the system at their stand in the UK Pavilion.

Currently operational at more than 60 sites worldwide, NiDAR protects critical civilian infrastructure and military assets through its comprehensive Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence capabilities. The platform fuses data from numerous sensors into one unified operational picture, seamlessly integrating both legacy systems and cutting-edge equipment across radar, RF, EO/IR, sonar, and many more sensor types.

Advanced AI-Enhanced Threat Detection

Backed by over 20 years of operational experience and one of the largest threat datasets in the world, the NiDAR C4I platform autonomously detects, tracks, classifies and prioritizes threats while recommending optimal countermeasures to operators in real-time across all domains. The system dramatically reduces operator burden by consolidating sensor data and mission support into a single intuitive interface, allowing a single person to operate what traditionally requires multiple operators across different sensor feeds.

The platform’s ability to hand-off directly to soft-kill and kinetic effectors from the same interface dramatically accelerates sensor-to-shooter timelines. By providing an end-to-end kill chain capability, NiDAR reduces the decision cycle from minutes to seconds across detection, classification, and defeat of asymmetric threats. This compressed timeline proves critical in modern defense operations where speed of response determines mission success, particularly when addressing swarm attacks and coordinated drone threats.

Latest Enhancements and Innovations

At the World Defense Show, MARSS will demonstrate the latest enhancements to their system, including NiDAR Autonomous Mission Management (AMM), which enables operators to autonomously task and deploy uncrewed assets across air, land, and sea domains. This innovation transforms UAVs, UGVs, and USVs into intelligent autonomous sensors and effectors within the wider defense ecosystem.

Another groundbreaking feature is NiDAR Nation Shield, the world’s first Edge-to-Mission Command (E2MC) C4I platform. This provides a single, coherent operating picture across all tiers of operations, from tactical edge personnel using ruggedized tablets through to strategic command centers with 360-degree display capabilities.

Industry Leadership and Global Expansion

The MARSS team will share updates on recent contract wins with GCC, NATO and Indo-Pacific states, reinforcing the platform’s growing role in protecting critical infrastructure and assets across the globe. These partnerships demonstrate the international confidence in NiDAR’s capabilities and its evolution beyond traditional command and control systems.

“The World Defense Show provides the perfect platform to demonstrate how NiDAR has evolved beyond a traditional C2 to a complete C4I ecosystem. With our focus on sensor fusion, autonomous mission management, and unified command architecture, we’re addressing the critical challenges facing modern defense: doing more with fewer personnel while accelerating decision-making from minutes to seconds.”
Rob Balloch, Chief Growth Officer at MARSS

“This isn’t a static display – visitors can get hands on with a live, fully functional NiDAR system – and see for themselves how we’re transforming layered multi-domain defense operations. From the tactical edge to strategic headquarters, NiDAR delivers the single operating picture that commanders have never had before.”
Robbie Draper, Director of Operations at MARSS
