BAE Systems, CVC and Blackstone are among potential bidders exploring an offer for Robin Radar Systems, the Dutch drone-detection company, according to people familiar with the matter. Parcom, which bought Robin Radar in 2024, is working with JPMorgan to begin a sale process later this year that could value the Delft-based company at about €2 billion ($2.26 billion). Advent and EQT are also potential bidders. CVC and Blackstone made an offer over the summer that was rejected before the formal sale process, two people said. BAE Systems, Parcom, Advent, EQT and JPMorgan declined to comment or did not respond, while Robin Radar said it would not comment on confidential shareholder processes. The potential transaction comes as European governments seek greater digital sovereignty and tighter control of critical cloud, data and digital infrastructure. Robin Radar began by building airport radars to detect birds near aircraft and has since expanded into anti-drone technology. The Netherlands bought 100 of its early-warning radars last year, and the technology has been used to protect live events including the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the Paris Olympic Games in 2024.
