Electro Optic Systems (EOS) has won a USD 16 million order for counter-drone systems from the armed forces of a Middle Eastern country it has not named.
It is the first sale to that country by EOS or by MARSS, which EOS acquired in June. The systems are to protect strategically important sites and include sensors, soft-kill effectors and command facilities, built around the MARSS NiDAR command-and-control system. The contract should be largely fulfilled within the next 12 months.
