The first TRML-4D multi-function radar system was delivered to Ukraine
This is part of four high-performance radars Germany will deliver to Ukraine to strengthen the IRIS-T air defense system
According to Hensoldt, the delivery of the other three radar systems is expected to be completed in the next few months
After being delivered to Ukraine, Germany's TRML-4D radar is expected to help the country's air defense forces
improve their ability to deal with modern enemy attack weapons
The characteristics and capabilities of the TRML-4D radar make it possible to cover the sky over Ukraine
helping air defense forces to fight back against enemy aircraft and missiles in a much better way than today
The delivery took place within the framework of a contract between Ukraine and another German company - Diehl Defense
the producer of IRIS-T SLM air defense missile systems, of which the first system has officially defended the skies of Ukraine
It should be noted that modern radar stations manufactured by NATO countries are integrated into a single network
and allow data exchange to create a single field of information
Technically, the TRML-4D radar can work in conjunction with the NASAMS air defense system
although the complex already has its own AN/MPQ-64 Sentinel radar
There are also opinions that this weapon can be used for even Soviet-era air defense systems
The characteristics of the TRML-4D radar were introduced in 2018 and customer deliveries begin in 2020, making it the most advanced in the segment
The basis of this fully digital radar is a phased active antenna array made of gallium nitride
which processes multi-beam and pulsed doppler signals, and allows working in conditions of dense interference and high target density
TRML-4D is capable of detecting, tracking and classifying various types of aerial targets, with a focus on small
fast and low-flying and manoeuvring cruise missiles and aircraft, as well as hovering helicopters
It ensures the rapid detection and tracking of some 1,500 targets in a radius of up to 250 km
As purely German systems, Hensoldt’s solutions are not dependent on foreign technology
and therefore offer the highest degree of approvability and certifiability for operation in Germany
as well as the highest possible security of supply
At the same time, they are fully compatible with NATO’s integrated air defence architecture
