MSI, a longstanding partner of the U.S. Department of Defense, is recognised for its work in stabilised weapon platforms and counter-drone solutions. The partnership with OVES addresses a growing concern in global defence: conventional systems increasingly struggle against emerging autonomous drone threats.
“In today’s evolving battlespace, the integration of advanced AI with the speed and precision required in C-UAS weapon systems is essential to achieving operational effectiveness,” the companies said in a joint statement. Nemesis AI will be used to enhance EAGLS™, enabling it to operate fully autonomously within a layered defence network.
EAGLS™ incorporates proven technologies such as 360° radars, laser-guided rockets, and remote weapons stations. The integration of Nemesis AI will allow the system to recognise, classify, and anticipate complex threats using real-time data processing.
“EAGLS was designed as a lightweight, mobile, and radar-enabled counter-UAS system — but integrating Nemesis AI takes it to another level,” said Nguyen Trinh, CEO of MSI Defense Solutions. “This is about shortening kill chains, reducing operator burden, and delivering an affordable, autonomous layered defence solution that can outpace emerging drone threats at the tactical edge.”
The upgraded system will be capable of intercepting targets using only visual sensors, without relying on radar or GPS – a capability not yet available in this configuration globally. OVES will implement a “super sensor fusion” system combining RGB, thermal, and neuromorphic cameras to detect and classify incoming threats.
Once a threat is identified, Nemesis AI will alert the Battle Management System (BMS) and suggest the best method of interception based on the available arsenal. This will be supported by AI-specific hardware developed by OVES, designed to process large data volumes at exceptional speed.
The platform will also offer intelligent turret control, providing faster and more precise targeting than conventional mechanical systems. This will enable the EAGLS™ system to engage fast, autonomous, and evasive drones using only visual inputs and AI.
“This collaboration confirms OVES Enterprise’s strategic direction and the maturity of the Nemesis AI platform,” said Mihai Filip, CEO of OVES Enterprise. “Our discussions with MSI started from an urgent, real-world need: to counter attack types that current systems fail to intercept.”
Filip added, “We’ve demonstrated that we can deliver more than a recognition tool – we offer a complete platform that analyses, decides, and acts at the pace required on the ground. This partnership is a key step in consolidating our international position as a defence AI solutions provider.”
The AI-powered system is expected to offer significant cost savings, estimated at half the price of comparable defence platforms currently available. Integration will be based on OVES-developed hardware, ensuring compatibility and independence from other technologies.
