Over 30 Robin Radar IRIS Drone Detection Radars Deployed to Secure FIFA World Cup Venues
Dutch radar specialist Robin Radar Systems has announced that more than 30 of its IRIS drone detection radars are actively supporting security operations at the FIFA World Cup in North America. The systems are being used by U.S. federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement partners to detect, track, and monitor unauthorized drone activity around tournament venues, providing 360-degree airspace awareness.
Highlights
- Robin Radar Systems has deployed more than 30 IRIS drone detection radars to support Counter-UAS security operations at the FIFA World Cup in North America.
- The IRIS system delivers real-time 3D volumetric airspace data with 360-degree coverage, enabling complete situational awareness over venues and surrounding crowds.
- U.S. federal agencies and State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLTT) law enforcement partners are actively using the IRIS radars to detect and track unauthorized drones.
- IRIS is designed to detect small fixed-wing and hovering drones that can evade conventional detection systems, making it suited for high-security public events.
- Robin Radar's North America GM Kristian Brost stated that drones are now 'the fastest-growing threat at large public events,' highlighting rising demand for counter-drone solutions.
Over 30 IRIS Drone Detection Radars Deployed for World Cup Security
Robin Radar Systems has announced that more than 30 of its IRIS drone detection radars are supporting FIFA World Cup security operations across North America.
In an official statement, the company said: "IRIS radars are being utilized by U.S. federal government and State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial (SLTT) law enforcement partners as part of a broader Counter-UAS effort to detect, track, and monitor unauthorized drone activity around World Cup venues. IRIS provides 3D volumetric information and 360-degree coverage for complete situational awareness. The system is purpose-built to detect, track, and classify small aerial objects — including small fixed-wing and hovering drones capable of evading traditional detection methods."
Addressing the Drone Threat at Major Events
Kristian Brost, Robin Radar's General Manager for North America, commented: "More than 30 IRIS radars have now been integrated into the World Cup security framework, giving agencies real-time 3D airspace awareness over venues and surrounding crowds. Drones have become the fastest-growing threat at large public events, and you cannot counter what you cannot see. We are proud that IRIS serves as the critical layer that makes the airspace visible, working alongside law enforcement agencies and system integration partners to keep the event secure."
Key Capabilities of the IRIS Radar System
The IRIS radar platform offers the following core features:
- 3D Volumetric Detection: Delivers real-time three-dimensional airspace data
- 360-Degree Coverage: Ensures full situational awareness with no blind spots
- Small Drone Classification: Identifies and distinguishes between fixed-wing and multirotor drone types
- Counter-Evasion Detection: Capable of tracking small aerial targets that defeat conventional detection systems
As drone technology becomes increasingly accessible, airspace security at major international sporting events has emerged as a priority for security agencies worldwide. The large-scale deployment at this year's World Cup underscores the growing importance of — and demand for — counter-drone detection solutions in the public safety sector.
