Air defense shell

The missile ships of the Sea Arm - model Sa'ar 6, which during the 'Iron Swords' war were declared operational, are ships with a wide air defense shell built from a number of hard and soft defense systems. The 'Barak Magen' air defense system and the long-range interceptor 'LRAD' give the navy the ability to deal with a wide range of threats, near and far. During the experiment, a precision rocket was launched at a target that simulated a strategic asset at sea, the Barak Magen system detected, tracked and classified the target as a threat and completed a successful interception process until the target was destroyed.

Proving the functionality and competence of the system at the same time as combat

This experiment is actually a proof of the system's functionality and competence at the same time as combat. The Barak Magen system is an advanced air defense system produced by the Aerospace Industry, which includes a radar that enables the detection of a variety of threats, their classification by the weapon system and their interception by a long-range interceptor.

A wide range of threats

The 'LRAD' interceptor has the ability to deal with a wide range of threats including: airplanes, unmanned aerial vehicles, cruise missiles, steep runway threats, coastal missiles and more. These days, when the IDF is dealing with a variety of air threats, from several arenas, near and far, the implementation of a long-range interceptor of the 'LRAD' type will strengthen the Navy's capabilities to achieve naval superiority.

Barak MX is an advanced air defense system based on Barak interceptors "Medium-range MRAD, long-range LRAD and very long-range ER. The system provides protection against a wide range of threats, including cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and more."

Lt. Col. Yehuda Almakais, head of the research and development unit at MPA:

"The impressive success of the interception is a direct result of joint and long-term research and development efforts by the Israel Defense Forces, the Navy and the Aerospace Industry. The development of the 'Barak Magen' system and the long-range interceptor 'LRAD' demonstrates our ability to deal with evolving threats and provide advanced solutions to protect Israel's national interests at sea. We continue to invest in research and development at sea, under the sea, on land, underground, in the air, in space and in the spectrum to ensure that our forces are always equipped with the most advanced technologies that will provide them with the operational-technological advantage."
