The Interceptor-MR by MARSS is intended to represent the future of combating unmanned aerial vehicles. It stands out for its ability to precisely target and neutralize drones over distances exceeding 5 kilometers. Through a combination of operational experience and innovation, MARSS has developed an autonomous interceptor equipped with artificial intelligence, offering a cost-effective and low-collateral-risk solution to neutralize hostile drones.

This system utilizes a range of sensors to accurately detect, verify, and respond to UAV threats. The Interceptor is equipped with NiDAR Core intelligence, enabling operators to deploy this agile system to defeat fast and highly maneuverable targets.

One of the most notable features of the Interceptor is its fully automatic vertical launch, allowing for an immediate response to threats. Its hybrid aerodynamic structure provides the speed and range of a fixed-wing aircraft while maintaining the flexibility and agility of a quadcopter. Capable of reaching altitudes up to 2 km and speeds over 80 m/s, the Interceptor is powered by a custom electric ducted propulsion system, ensuring high speed and optimal survivability.

The Interceptor is housed in a vertical smart launcher connected to the NiDAR sensor infrastructure. Once a threat is detected, the operator deploys the Interceptor from its launcher. The system acquires the target using onboard AI imaging and engages the enemy with dogfight maneuverability.

The unveiling of the Interceptor-MR at WDS 2024 highlights the defense industry's ongoing commitment to innovation and the development of solutions capable of addressing the complex security challenges posed by the advent of UAVs.
