HEIGHT Technologies Launches the Next Step: Introducing MARLET NXT

At HEIGHT Technologies, innovation is not just something we pursue, it is the foundation of who we are. We are proud to unveil an important milestone in our journey: the official presentation of MARLET NXT, our next-generation modular platform that sets a new benchmark for reliability, speed, and mission readiness.

This major announcement was made during NEDS2025, where MARLET NXT was reveiled by the 43rd Mechanised Brigade of the Royal Netherlands Army together with the State Secretary of Defence, Gijs Tuinman. The collaboration highlights a shared vision for a more agile, adaptive, and scalable future for defense operations.

A New Model for Faster, More Efficient Delivery

In recent years, organisations have relied heavily on made-to-order systems, powerful but often slow, complex, and difficult to scale. With MARLET NXT, HEIGHT Technologies is transforming this process by shifting toward a true off-the-shelf product model.

This delivers three major advantages:

1. A More Efficient Organisation and Leaner Cost Structure

MARLET NXT was designed with modularity at its core, eliminating unnecessary complexity and lowering operational and production overhead.

2. Radically Shorter Delivery Times

Where traditional systems required long lead times, MARLET NXT brings this down to as little as three weeks, allowing organisations to respond immediately to evolving needs.

3. Always Available, Mission-Ready Configurations

Its modular design ensures that MARLET NXT can be quickly configured for specific deployments. Without depending on lengthy supply-chain processes.

Built for Today, Ready for Tomorrow

MARLET NXT is more than just faster to produce. It’s a reliable and future-proof partner in the field. The platform can be scaled, enhanced, or adapted whenever the mission demands it, giving operational units the confidence that their technology keeps pace with reality.

Together with our partners, we are pushing forward toward a future where necessities are met with urgency and where innovation is both rapid and responsible.

This is only the beginning.

Why ISR Matters More Than Ever

Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) has become the backbone of modern defense and security. Global tensions, hybrid warfare, rapid urbanization, and emerging drone threats have fundamentally changed operational realities. Information dominance is no longer a luxury — it is the decisive factor that shapes strategic outcomes.

ISR is now expected to deliver:

• Real-time multi-domain awareness

• High reliability in unpredictable environments

• Rapid deployment capability

• Adaptability to constantly changing missions

• Scalable solutions for both military and civilian applications

This increasing demand requires solutions that are modular, available off-the-shelf, and capable of evolving quickly. That is exactly why we created MARLET NXT.
