MARSS

IOC: 2005

Origin
Israel

Contractor/s
Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. (IAI)

Description: The Multi-Mission Airborne Reconnaissance & Surveillance System (MARSS) is an airborne intelligence and C4I system that can conduct at the same time Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and Image Intelligence (IMINT) missions in all-weather conditions. In addition, the system is equipped with Communication Intelligence (COMINT) and Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) systems to provide real-time Electronic Order of Battle (EOB) for all communications networks and radars in the theater. The MARSS was developed by IAI's Elta Systems Group.

IMINT high quality imagery is collected through a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI) system and a long range electro-optical sensor. The high resolution imagery is saved to an onboard command and control center before being transmitted to ground command centers to generate a precise and comprehensive picture of the battlespace. MARSS meets network-centric operations criteria which translates into the capability to send the data to any command level in the theater.
