MARS 2 is a Multi-Role Airborne System designed to operate as a fast-deployment, all-in-one task force. It enables Complete Situational Awareness and Ground Superiority of the theater under surveillance.
MARS2 comprises a high performance aircraft (executive jet or similar) equipped with a powerful sensor-suit and with the means to integrate the sensors' data effectively. An internal Command & Control and Communication (C3) Station translates intelligence and situational awareness into battle management and situation handling.
