Electro Optic Systems Holdings Limited ( (AU:EOS) ) has provided an update.

Electro Optic Systems Holdings Limited has agreed to acquire Europe-based defence and security technology provider MARSS, including its NiDAR command-and-control platform, sensor fusion and AI software, hardware offerings, customer contracts, intellectual property and personnel. The deal, structured with an upfront cash payment of US$36 million and up to €100 million in performance-based contingent consideration, positions EOS as an end-to-end counter-drone systems provider able to deliver a full Detect–Identify–Decide–Defeat capability and compete as a prime contractor for larger, higher-value programs. EOS plans to embed MARSS’s AI-enabled NiDAR system into its remote weapon systems to provide meshed hemispherical protection for vehicle fleets against drone attacks, while also expanding its geographic footprint and leveraging MARSS’s defence, homeland security and civil customer relationships; the acquisition will be funded mainly from existing cash reserves and is expected to be broadly neutral for earnings and operating cash flow in 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:EOS) stock is a Buy with a A$12.44 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Electro Optic Systems Holdings Limited stock, see the AU:EOS Stock Forecast page.
