IAI and Indian navy successfully test Barak Air Defense System at sea

Latest successful interception marks a major step in strengthening India’s naval defenses and highlights deepening strategic collaboration between Israel and India.

Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) and the Indian Navy marked a major achievement last week, with the successful interception of a fast-moving, low-altitude target over the sea by the Barak Medium-Range Surface-to-Air Missile (MRSAM) system. The test, part of a series of operational trials, further underscores the growing strength and readiness of India’s naval forces.

The recent success follows a string of successful tests across India's tri-services, including a notable trial conducted earlier this month by the Indian Army. It highlights the operational maturity of the Barak MRSAM system, developed jointly by IAI and India's Ministry of Defence, alongside leading defense companies in both nations.

Barak MRSAM is a state-of-the-art air defense solution featuring an integrated package of a cutting-edge multi-mission radar, command and control system, mobile launchers, and interceptors capable of engaging threats at ranges up to 70 kilometers. Installed on naval vessels, the system provides comprehensive, multi-layered defense against a wide spectrum of aerial threats, including ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Boaz Levy, President and CEO of IAI, hailed the success of the latest trials: "The successful trials highlight the uncompromising technological superiority of the air defense systems we have developed in partnership with our Indian counterparts. Barak MRSAM stands as a cornerstone of the strategic collaboration between Israel and India, once again demonstrating its proven ability to counter the most advanced aerial threats."

Oded Jacobowitz, VP & General Manager of IAI’s Air & Missile Defense Systems division, emphasized the strong partnership underpinning the program: "The series of successful operational trials conducted with India’s military branches reflects the depth of cooperation between IAI and our Indian partners, and the strong trust placed in our complex technological systems developed and manufactured by the Indian defense industry in collaboration with IAI."

With its advanced capabilities and proven operational performance, Barak MRSAM continues to play a key role in strengthening India’s defense posture, both at sea and on land.
