IRIS is 29 kg, 360° azimuth × 60° elevation, with a 5 km baseline range and a 12 km Long-Range Mode unlocked by software alone — claimed to detect & classify Shahed-class loitering munitions. ELVIRA is the lower-cost 2D sibling. Recent 100-unit IRIS contract with Dutch MoD (Europe's largest publicly disclosed drone-radar buy). Deploying with US DHS for FIFA World Cup 2026.
