HENSOLDT secures €340 million contract to supply air defence radars to the Armed Forces of Ukraine

By Defence Industry Europe

German sensor solutions provider HENSOLDT has secured a major contract to supply advanced radar systems to Ukraine, aimed at boosting the country's air defence capabilities. The order, valued at more than €340 million, includes deliveries of TRML-4D high-performance radars and SPEXER 2000 3D MkIII short-range radars.

 

“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 radar employs cutting-edge AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) technology. It enables the rapid detection and tracking of up to 1,500 air targets within a radius of 250 kilometres, including cruise missiles, drones, aircraft and helicopters.

The SPEXER radar family is designed for the automatic detection and classification of ground, sea, and low-flying air targets across various ranges. The SPEXER 2000 variant is integrated into the Rheinmetall Skyranger 30 cannon-based air defence vehicle and is also used in several German defence programmes such as the cUAS Feldlager (ASUL), qualified air defence, and the HoWiSM laser-based drone defence system.

HENSOLDT brings decades of expertise in radar systems and is actively advancing key technologies in the air defence sector. Alongside the TRML-4D and SPEXER, its radar portfolio includes the Twinvis passive radar and systems for naval security, air traffic control, and military airfield approach management.

Both the TRML-4D and SPEXER are components of the ‘Near and Very Short Range Air Defence System’ (NNbS) commissioned by the German Armed Forces. Additionally, HENSOLDT provides radar systems for the German Navy’s latest frigates and corvettes, contributing to comprehensive national and allied defence efforts.
