The project began with the delivery of new vehicles on Monday, February 2nd, and the vehicles are already equipped with sensors. According to the Ministry of Defense, these radars provide early warning of the approach of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and enable rapid response to potential threats.
According to the announcement, the system can distinguish drones from birds and other moving aerial objects, significantly reducing the occurrence of false alarms. This is an important element in continuous monitoring operations.
The official report did not reveal the exact model of the installed radar, but said the first units were received in November. In parallel, the Defense Ministry announced late last fall that it had ordered 100 radars from Robin Radar, a Dutch company specializing in drone detection.
The initiative shows the Dutch military’s increasing emphasis on defending against low-altitude aerial threats, as the use of drones increases in military and security settings.
