Israeli navy successfully tests long range missile interceptor

The Israeli Navy, the Directorate of Defense Research and Development (DDR&D) of the Israel Ministry of Defense and the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) have successfully completed an interception test of a long-range BARAK interceptor, which is part of the defensive layer of the Israeli Navy’s Sa’ar 6-class corvette.

This is a significant milestone in the development process of the BARAK LRAD interceptor, which is part of the BARAK Air and Missile Defense System. The system is an integral part of the primary defense systems on board the four Sa'ar 6-class corvettes of the Israeli Navy, which play a crucial role in the protection of strategic assets in Israel's exclusive economic zone.

During the test, which is the first of its kind to be conducted at sea, the BARAK system successfully completed detection and interception processes in a challenging scenario against a target that simulated an advanced cruise missile. WATCH
