Sensor technologies provider Hensoldt has secured a naval radar modernisation contract from German procurement authority Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw).
Under the contract, the company will upgrade the TRS-3D radars on two German Navy Braunschweig-class (K130) corvettes and an associated shore facility.
Hensoldt did not disclose the value of the deal. Deliveries of the corresponding electronic components replacement will take place this year.
TRS-3D is a modular, countermeasure-resistant, medium-range air and surface surveillance system.
The multi-mode surveillance and target acquisition radar is a fully coherent phased array C band radar capable of fully automatic detection and track initiation. It is also capable of classifying various types of targets.
With the help of Hensoldt identification system MSSR 2000, the TRS-3D radar can correlate the position and movement data of targets.
