Robin IRIS
3D micro-Doppler X-band radar built for airport environments.
IRIS is Robin Radar's flagship drone-detection radar, a 3D X-band staring unit that leverages micro-Doppler analysis to tell a quadcopter rotor signature apart from flapping birds or helicopter blades. This reduces the false-alarm rate that typically sinks C-UAS radar installations at busy airports. The unit is non-ITAR (Dutch-origin), sand-and-heat rated, and comes with an OPC-UA and REST API that drops into most third-party C2 stacks. Robin's bird-radar heritage (it still sells the Max series for bird-strike prevention) gives it a unique calibration library for airport environments.
