DroneShield Ltd (ASX: DRO) has announced a new partnership with Robin Radar Systems, which it says will further extend its radar interoperability and strengthen airspace awareness for its customers.
The Australian anti-drone company said Robin Radar Systems was recognised for its 360-degree, 3D radar technology, "designed to detect and track small airborne objects, including drones''.

Technology ecosystem expanded
DroneShield added in a statement released on Wednesday:
Its radars are engineered to deliver reliable detection and classification performance across complex environments.
DroneShield said its approach to counter-unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) was "ecosystem led".
It said further:
Rather than offering a closed or static solution, the company has invested in building a scalable marketplace of interoperable third-party sensors. This model gives operators the flexibility to select the right sensing technologies for their specific environment, threat profile, and operational constraints, both today and as requirements evolve. By adding Robin Radar Systems to its ecosystem, DroneShield continues to expand the options available to customers seeking radar-based detection as part of a layered CUAS deployment. Radar can play a critical role in detecting and tracking airborne objects across wide areas and in challenging conditions, supporting persistent awareness and resilience.
DroneShield said at the centre of this ecosystem was its DroneSentry-C2 product, "which combines inputs from multiple sensor types to create a consolidated operational picture that reduces ambiguity and enhances decision confidence''.
DroneShield Chief Product Officer Angus Bean said operators needed systems that adapt to their mission, not the other way around.
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.
Robi Radar Chief Commercial Officer Marcel Verdonk welcomed the agreement.
At Robin, we see ourselves as a new generation radar company – fast, adaptive, and built for integration. Our technology is designed to deliver seamless performance within broader security architectures. We're pleased to be partnering with DroneShield to combine our market-leading IRIS 3D radar with their CUAS platform, enabling smarter, layered airspace protection worldwide.
Building on recent good news
DroneShield also recently announced that it had started manufacturing counter-drone armaments in the European Union under contract, marking a significant expansion into a key market.
DroneShield said the European manufacturing capability would enable it to bid more competitively for European contracts, "which increasingly prioritises sovereign capability, regional production, and resilient supply chains".
DroneShield shares were 1.2% higher in early trade on Wednesday at $4.07. The company was valued at $3.71 billion at the close of trade on Tuesday.
