Robin Radar Systems has introduced IRIS OTM at Sea, an enhanced maritime version of its mobile IRIS On‑The‑Move platform, designed to provide real‑time drone detection for vessels, ports, and offshore infrastructure. The new system adapts Robin Radar’s proven land‑based technology for dynamic maritime environments, enabling operators to detect, track, and classify drones while travelling at speeds of up to 54 knots.
The launch comes as drone‑related threats continue to rise across global shipping routes, particularly in high‑risk regions such as the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz, where unmanned systems have increasingly targeted commercial vessels and critical maritime corridors.
IRIS OTM at Sea incorporates advanced software to filter sea clutter, stabilise radar performance, and maintain situational awareness despite vessel motion and harsh weather conditions. Built for salt‑resistant, high‑vibration operations, the system offers a flexible, mobile counter‑UAS capability that can be deployed on moving platforms—an advantage over traditional fixed‑site radars.
Robin Radar says the solution reflects operational lessons from recent conflict zones, where maritime operators require fast‑deploying, software‑defined detection tools capable of protecting ships, offshore assets, and coastal facilities from evolving aerial threats.
