DroneShield Integrates Robin Radar Systems Into Counter-Drone Architecture

Australia’s DroneShield has partnered with Dutch firm Robin Radar Systems to integrate 3D radar technology into its counter-drone architecture, expanding detection capabilities across its sensor ecosystem.

The addition of radar strengthens the system’s ability to monitor airspace over wide areas and track small, low-flying objects such as drones, particularly in complex environments where visibility or terrain can limit other sensors.

Robin Radar’s systems provide 360-degree, three-dimensional coverage and are designed to reliably detect and classify airborne targets.

This data is fed into DroneShield’s DroneSentry-C2, a command-and-control platform that creates a unified, real-time operational picture by integrating inputs from both DroneShield and third-party sensors.

The system supports detection, tracking, and response functions, and can be deployed either via secure cloud infrastructure or on-premises servers, depending on operational requirements.

At the core of this setup is SensorFusionAI.

It combines data from multiple sensor types, such as radar, radio-frequency monitoring, and optical systems, to improve detection and classification accuracy.

By correlating inputs from different sources, the system reduces ambiguity and supports more reliable decision-making when identifying potential drone threats.

“Operators need systems that adapt to their mission, not the other way around,” said Angus Bean, DroneShield Chief Product Officer.

“By partnering with Robin Radar Systems and expanding our sensor marketplace, we give customers more freedom to design their airspace security architecture, while SensorFusionAI ensures that all sensor inputs are fused into insights that support decisive action.”

Latest Projects

DroneShield is expanding its industrial footprint and contract activity as demand for counter-drone systems increases worldwide.

Earlier this month, the company began manufacturing in the European Union through a local partner, marking its first production line outside Australia. 

The facility supports full system assembly, including electronics, machining, cabling, and testing.

Moreover, DroneShield secured an $8.2 million contract in January to supply handheld counter-drone systems to a Western military customer, covering equipment, spare parts, and software support.
