Hensoldt Delivers Air Defence Radars to Latvia, Slovenia

Hensoldt has supplied its TRML-4D air defence radars to Latvia and Slovenia as part of an order from Diehl Defence worth more than €100 million.

HENSOLDT is also providing maintenance and training package to the countries. The radars will be deployed in the two European Sky Shield Initiative (ESSI) countries as part of the IRIS-T SLM air defence system. This means that HENSOLDT currently has more than 80 air defence radars of various ranges under contract as part of the ESSI initiative alone.

The TRML-4D has delivered good detection performance in Ukraine and prevailed against strong competition during live tests in Latvia, the company claims. It is based on the latest AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar technology and ensures the rapid detection and tracking of around 1,500 targets within a radius of up to 250 kilometres. It is capable of quickly and reliably detecting and tracking all types of air targets - cruise missiles, rockets, drones and aircraft - and classifying them for engagement.
