TRML-4D system possesses the capability to detect, track, and classify a wide range of aerial targets. The primary emphasis lies on small, swift, and low-flying and/or manoeuvrable cruise missiles, along with aircraft and helicopters, tracking up to 1,500 targets within a radius of up to 250 kilometres.

This delivery provided Ukraine with two systems within the span of six months, adding to the layered air defence system by providing a capability to counter threats at a range of up to 40km and a height of up to 20km.
Diehl claim Ukraine has credited the system with a 100 percent against waves of attacks of up to 12 targets, and as recently as 22 June the German military signed a contact to procure six of the systems fire units for medium orange ground-based air defence.
Diehl Defence is the system integrator for all IRIS-T SLM components, as well as the supplier of the missile launcher and guided missiles. The TRML-4D multi-functional radar is manufactured by Hensoldt. Airbus provides the Integrated Battle Management Software Fire Control (IBMS-FC) for the command post.
