Electro Optic Systems has completed its acquisition of MARSS and unveiled the combined counter-drone business at Eurosatory in Paris. The deal folds MARSS’s AI-enabled command and control, including NiDAR, into EOS’s effectors to build a layered detect, track and defeat stack.
MARSS continues as an independent subsidiary under Johannes Pinl, while EOS plans a European C2 AI hub in Nice with more than €10 million of investment and up to 150 jobs over three years. The move gives EOS a fuller counter-UAS offer as operators demand integrated architectures, not stand-alone sensors or weapons.
