Description

The Barak MX is a new modular air defense solution developed by IAI to engage a wide array of threats using three new interceptors, a common battle management center (BMC) and a variety fully digital integrated radar sensors. The Barak MX all-weather, supersonic interceptors feature a common design with 360-degree vertical launch and an active radiofrequency seeker. Besides, the interceptors feature optimized warhead, high maneuverability, multiple simultaneous engagement, fast and reliable target acquisition and high immunity to Electronic Counter Measures (ECM). Each Barak MX launcher can be filled with eight Barak MRAD/LRAD/ER missiles. The missiles can maneuver at 50g and are provided with a radiofrequency data-link allowing communications between the BMC and the interceptor-missile. The Barak MX air defense system is suitable for land and naval applications and is expected to be deployed in the early 2020s.
