MSI Defense Solutions and Romania’s OVES Enterprise Join Forces to Develop AI-Powered Anti-Drone Systems

In a significant move for modern battlefield technology, U.S.-based MSI Defense Solutions has partnered with Romanian software company OVES Enterprise to jointly develop advanced counter-drone systems. The collaboration, formalised through a strategic memorandum, aims to combine OVES’s cutting-edge Nemesis AI platform with MSI’s proven EAGLS™ counter-UAS system, creating a powerful, autonomous defence solution for the future.

Why This Partnership Matters

The growing use of autonomous drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in combat zones has posed new challenges for military forces worldwide. Traditional defence systems often struggle to detect, track, and neutralise these fast, small, and unpredictable threats. By integrating artificial intelligence directly into defence platforms, MSI and OVES are aiming to offer a next-generation solution capable of handling these challenges in real-time.

Nguyen Trinh, CEO of MSI Defense Solutions, explained the significance:
“This is about shortening kill chains, reducing operator burden, and delivering an affordable, autonomous layered defence system that can outpace modern drone threats at the tactical edge.”

What Is the EAGLS™ System?

The EAGLS™ (Expeditionary Air-Ground Launch System) is a lightweight, mobile, radar-enabled counter-UAS platform already equipped with:

• 360° radars for all-around situational awareness

• Laser-guided rockets for high-precision interceptions

• Remote weapon stations (RWS) for flexible engagement options

Its modular design makes it suitable for land vehicles, naval ships, and forward-operating bases. It was originally developed to detect, track, and destroy small UAVs and low-flying threats.

How Nemesis AI Will Enhance EAGLS™

By integrating the Nemesis AI platform, EAGLS™ will gain advanced autonomous capabilities:

• Real-time threat recognition and classification using AI-powered image processing

• Super Sensor Fusion: A combination of RGB, thermal, and neuromorphic cameras providing advanced multi-spectral tracking

• Kill-chain automation: AI determines the most effective interception method instantly, without human intervention

• Radar and GPS-free operation: Capable of intercepting targets using only visual sensors — a rare and valuable feature not widely available globally

• AI-optimised turret control: Faster, more precise gun or missile targeting based on real-time data

Moreover, OVES Enterprise will supply AI-specific processing hardware capable of handling large amounts of data at high speeds, ensuring no delays in detection or engagement even during complex, multi-drone attacks.

Why This System Stands Out

One of the key advantages of this new AI-powered C-UAS (Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System) is its cost-effectiveness. Early estimates suggest it could be up to 50% less expensive than comparable systems currently in service. The integration of Nemesis AI also allows for better independence from external technologies and networks, making it highly resilient in electronic warfare environments.

Mihai Filip, CEO of OVES Enterprise, shared his perspective:
“We’ve demonstrated that this isn’t just another recognition tool. It’s a complete platform that analyses, decides, and acts in real-time on the battlefield.”

Looking Ahead

As drone warfare becomes an increasingly important concern for defence planners, systems like this AI-enhanced EAGLS™ will play a vital role in securing military assets and infrastructure. The MSI-OVES partnership highlights how the integration of artificial intelligence into defence platforms isn’t just an upgrade — it’s a necessity for the modern battlefield.

The project is expected to set a new standard for mobile, autonomous, and cost-effective counter-UAS systems in both military and homeland security applications.
