Robin Radar Systems

Like us, IRIS quite literally never stops learning 💡 We apply Deep Neural Networks (DNN) in our IRIS radar to boost its overall performance. Since introducing DNN in 2022, we’ve strengthened classification range and sensitivity significantly. DNNs are machine learning techniques that work by training a model with a varied set of data, in our case, cutouts of radar images. Similar to how neural networks distinguish cats from dogs, they can analyse micro-doppler plots of radar images to classify drones from other flying objects. With an ever-increasing amount of data, the potential of AI continues to expand. The drone threat may be advancing, but so are the technologies that counter it. Very soon, we’ll reveal just how much DNN elevates our IRIS radar’s performance with our new model, stay tuned!

How to protect convoys from the drone threat 🛡️ Convoys maximise speed and mobility for effective defences and strategic operations in modern-day warfare. However, mobility adds complexity, and though protecting moving assets is essential, it doesn’t come without its challenges. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) have introduced a dynamic and elusive threat that has transformed the landscape of defence, security, and warfare. Here are some of the ways they target and disrupt convoys: ▪️ IED (Improvised Explosive Device) Deployment: Drones can deploy small IEDs onto convoy routes or directly onto vehicles. They can be used to plant explosives in hard-to-detect locations, bypassing traditional roadside IED countermeasures. ▪️ Surveillance and Reconnaissance: Drones can track the movement of convoys and relay their position to enemy forces. This allows adversaries to plan ambushes or airstrikes with greater accuracy. ▪️ Decoying and Misdirection: Drones can draw convoy attention or fire away from the main threat, such as a larger aerial attack. Convoys could be forced to waste resources on false threats. Learn how specialised radar, capable of detecting, tracking and classifying on the move, helps tackle the challenge ⬇️ https://hubs.ly/Q02WXkdR0 #CUAS #ConvoyProtection #UASDefense #CounterDrone #DefenseTechnology #ModernWarfare #RadarSolutions #ConvoySecurity

Ever wondered how our drone radars accurately distinguish drones from other objects? Keep reading 👀 To classify drones and give the earliest possible warning, our CUAS radars, IRIS and ELVIRA, use micro-doppler. Here’s how that works. In essence, radars transmit a signal that returns a reflection. Backed by 40 years of radar science, Robin's radars are carefully calibrated to analyse certain properties of this reflection down to finite detail. Micro-doppler refers to movements within a moving target. Radars like IRIS can detect speed differences within the reflecting target, that's how it identifies the presence of rotor blades and rotating parts. With micro-doppler, IRIS can differentiate between the movement of a bird’s beating wing and the rotation of a drone propeller. We strengthen classification accuracy with deep neural networks (DNN), but more about that soon! https://lnkd.in/ernxa-S9 #CUAS #Drones #CounterDrone #dronedetection #dronedefense

The need for critical infrastructure, like highways, power lines, buildings and bridges, is expanding. That creates a building risk to local and migratory birdlife 🚧🐦 Different species adapt and interact with human infrastructure in varying ways. That makes predicting the impact of construction projects, if any, difficult to quantify. It depends on location, design, and the specific ecosystems and cyclical patterns that surround the site. So, how to balance important construction projects with avian life? Considered research. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dKNHSzbs Understanding bird behaviour is key to creating conscious infrastructure that minimises the risk of harm. Governmental bodies and surging ecological policy are shifting the spotlight to construction, stipulating assessments to better understand the impacts it could have on avian life.  Discover how our avian radar can elevate research into the adverse risks of construction, such as habitat disruption, flight path alterations, and collisions with high-rises. #ConservationTech #SustainableConstruction #RadarInnovation #BirdProtection #Construction
