About Robin Radar Systems
Robin Radar Systems develops specialised radars for tracking drones and birds. ELVIRA provides continuous 360-degree counter-UAS surveillance, IRIS adds three-dimensional drone tracking, and MAX monitors bird movements around airports and wind farms.
The systems classify small moving targets from their radar signatures and feed tracks into command, camera or mitigation platforms. Fixed and mobile configurations cover borders, military sites, critical infrastructure and flight paths. Robin combines radar hardware with signal processing and user software designed specifically for low, slow and small aerial objects.
