Robin Radar has announced that the Dutch Ministry of Defense has repeated an order for 51 counter-drone radars. The contract was signed on August 21 and the Ministry of Defence is expected to donate these systems to Ukraine in the last quarter of 2024.
The purchase follows an initial order of 51 static IRIS drone radars made 18 months ago, currently deployed across multiple locations. The latest purchase introduces a new on-the-move (OTM) functionality when mounted on mobile objects, like vehicles or ships.
IRIS is designed to detect small, fast and elusive drones, monitoring the environment in full 360°, giving early warnings and precise updates even when moving at high speeds.
