DroneShield adds Robin Radar to expand counter-drone sensor options
DroneShield has partnered with Robin Radar Systems to add 3D radar capability to its counter-UAS sensor marketplace.
The deal gives operators more options when building layered drone defense systems for military sites, critical infrastructure and public safety missions. Robin Radar brings its IRIS 3D radar into DroneShield’s ecosystem. The 360-degree system is designed to detect, track and classify small airborne objects, including drones, in complex operating conditions. Its addition broadens the radar choices available to customers developing multi-sensor airspace security architectures.
DroneShield has been pushing an open, ecosystem-based strategy rather than relying on a closed proprietary hardware stack. That approach lets operators choose sensing tools that match mission needs, threat profiles and operating limits. At the center of that architecture is DroneSentry-C2, supported by SensorFusionAI, which combines inputs from different sensor types into a single operational picture. The goal is to reduce uncertainty and help users make faster decisions during drone threat incidents.
The partnership underlines the continuing importance of radar as a core layer in counter-UAS deployments, especially in environments where detecting and identifying small low-flying targets is difficult. For DroneShield, it strengthens a marketplace model built around integration and flexibility. For the wider sector, it signals that interoperability is becoming a bigger selling point as customers demand airspace security systems that can be tailored to specific operational needs.
