“Our high-performance radars are urgently needed by Ukrainian air defence,” said HENSOLDT CEO Oliver Dörre. “A number of radars have been protecting Ukraine since the start of Russia’s war of aggression. We are proud to be supplying further systems. The radars are extremely important for protecting citizens.”
The TRML-4D is based on the latest AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar technology. It ensures the rapid detection and tracking of around 1,500 targets within a radius of up to 250 km. It is capable of quickly and reliably detecting, tracking and classifying all types of air targets – cruise missiles, drones, aircraft and helicopters.
The SPEXER radar family offers surveillance radars for various ranges for the automatic detection and classification of ground, sea and low-flying air targets. The SPEXER 2000 is part of the new Skyranger 30 cannon-based air defence vehicle from Rheinmetall. It is also used in the German cUAS Feldlager (ASUL), qualified air defence, and HoWiSM (high-energy laser for drone defence).
HENSOLDT has decades of experience with radar systems for air defence and is actively driving forward the further development of key technologies in this field. In addition to the TRML-4D and SPEXER, the company’s portfolio includes the Twinvis passive radar and radars for securing ship and air traffic. Both the TRML-4D and the SPEXER are part of the ‘Near and Very Short Range Air Defence System’ NNbS ordered by the German Armed Forces. HENSOLDT also supplies radars for the German Navy’s new frigates and corvettes, for airspace surveillance and for approach control at German Armed Forces airfields, among other applications.
