Background

Weibel Scientific is a Danish radar manufacturer based in Allerød. It makes Doppler radars for air defence and drone detection, a role that places the company in procurement programmes seeking to detect small, low-flying aircraft before they reach defended sites.

Its XENTA radar line is relevant to military users because drone detection needs sensors that can distinguish small airborne objects from surrounding movement. Denmark’s procurement agency ordered further XENTA-M5 radars from Weibel Scientific on 22 September.

The company supplies detection equipment rather than weapons. In Denmark’s counter-drone procurement, its radars form the sensing layer alongside measures intended to stop a detected drone.
