As part of an order from Diehl Defence worth a two-digit million euro sum, one of the TRML-4D radars has already been delivered, with three more to follow within a few months.

According to the company, TRML-4D uses the latest Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar technology with multiple digitally shaped beams. 

It is capable of detecting, tracking and classifying various types of aerial targets, with a focus on small, fast and low-flying and/or manoeuvring cruise missiles and aircraft as well as helicopters. It ensures the rapid detection and tracking of some 1,500 targets in a radius of up to 250 km.

In addition to the TRML-4D multifunction radar, the company’s portfolio also includes the Twinvis passive radar, the Spexer product family and radars for securing ship and air traffic. 

The introduction of the modern IRIS-T SLM air defence system in combination with the HENSOLDT radars is expected to provide significant capabilities of engaging and intercepting Russian aircraft and missile systems (e.g. 3M-54 Kalibr cruise missiles) that are frequently used by Russian forces in Ukraine.
