Taufkirchen/Germany, 27 June 2023 - Sensor specialist HENSOLDT is supplying four more high-performance radars for Diehl Defence's IRIS-T SLM air defence system, which ensures the protection of Ukraine against attacks from the air. Under an order from Diehl Defence worth a mid-double-digit million sum, the TRML-4D radars are to be delivered to Diehl in the course of 2024, starting in January.
Thomas Müller, CEO of HENSOLDT, said: "This order is the result of the excellent operational results reported back from Ukraine. We are proud to be able to help further strengthen Ukraine's defence capability. These radars protect lives!"
TRML-4D uses the latest digital radar technology. It is capable of detecting, tracking and classifying different types of aerial targets.
