TAUFKIRCHEN, Germany. Hensoldt is once again shipping air defense radars to Ukraine, this time winning a contract to provide four additional multifunction radars for the IRIS-T SLM air defense system developed by Diehl Defence in an effort to bolster Ukraine's protection against aerial attacks, Hensoldt announced in a statement.
The deal, worth a mid-double-digit million sum, will see the delivery of the TRML-4D radars starting in January 2024, according to the announcement.
The TRML-4D radar is designed for the detection, tracking, and classification of diverse aerial threats -- particularly small, fast, and low-flying or maneuvering cruise missiles, as well as aircraft and helicopters, the statement reads. The system is reportedly capable of tracking approximately 1,500 targets within a 250 km radius.
