Forging Safer Skies: The Innovative Collaboration Between Robin Radar and Boeing

Three years following the signing of its first U.S. customer, the leading global aerospace company Boeing, Robin Radar proudly celebrates the progressive partnership that set the company soaring into a dynamic and expanding market. 

Robin Radar and Boeing joined forces through the Ministry of Economic Affairs of the Netherlands, leveraging industrial participation agreements. As part of this partnership, Boeing has played a key role in supporting Robin Radar with development and promotion of MAX Avian Radar, the company’s bird detection radar. 

Represented by Michael Woodward, Vice President International Strategic Partnerships, Boeing Defense, Space & Security and Marcel Verdonk, Chief Commercial Officer at Robin, the partners met at the 55th International Paris Airshow to reaffirm the Industrial Participation agreement. Jan Christiaan Dicke, Commissioner for Military Production, was present from the Netherlands Ministry of Economic Affairs. 

We'd like to extend a special thank you to Brandy Pessin, International Strategic Partnerships Senior Manager at Boeing, and Willem-Jan Derks, Business Development Manager Military Aviation at Robin, for managing this important relationship. Willem-Jan, said:

“Boeing’s team played a crucial role in establishing an initial foothold in the U.S. In addition to purchasing a radar system, Boeing utilizes its brimming network and facilitates connections within the industry. They help us bang the drum for the ways a specialized radar can elevate safety in military aviation. And, because Boeing has deployed a Robin avian radar of their own, they’re well placed to evaluate its performance and provide crucial feedback.”

The partnership with Boeing began as part of their commitment to support the Netherlands, but it has grown into a collaborative effort to promote and optimize radar technology.
