Aneela Nike Post: Ready to Track & Destroy

It is a joint effort and has been jointly developed by India and Israel. The Israel-made Multi-Functional Surveillance and Threat Alert Radar can simultaneously track hundreds of airborne targets. In the present scenario it will give a boost the armed forces.....

Recently the Indian Navy has joined a niche group of countries when it successfully test-fired a missile that can defend warships by destroying incoming projectiles at a distance. The missile was test-fired during naval exercises undertaken in the Arabian Sea on Dec 29 and Dec 30, 2015.

It is a joint effort and has been jointly developed by India and Israel. The Israel-made Multi-Functional Surveillance and Threat Alert Radar can simultaneously track hundreds of airborne targets. The Long Range Surface to Air Missile or LR SAM has been manufactured by Bharat Dynamics Limited.

Barak 8 (Hebrew word for lightning), also known as LR SAM is an Indian-Israeli surface-to-air missile, designed to defend against any type of airborne threat including aircraft, helicopters, anti-ship missiles, UAVs, cruise missiles and combat jets out to a maximum range of 70 km, however reports suggest the range has been increased to a maximum range of 90 km. Both maritime and land-based versions of the system exist.

The missile was test-fired on the Western Seaboard by INS Kolkata in the Arabian Sea. It successfully intercepted an aerial at an extended range. The ministry of defence called the success, a major milestone. It said on Twitter – Quantum jump in air defence capability of Indian Navy.

The range of the surface-to-air Barak 8 missile is 70 km and the range of the in-built radar, capable of tracking hundreds of airborne targets is 250 km. The missile and radar arm ships with a capability to detect aerial threats, such as incoming missiles, planes and drones, and defend themselves. They have been fitted on the Kolkata Class Destroyers for now.

Barak 8 was jointly developed by Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), India’s Defence & Development Organisation (DRDO), Israel’s Administration for the Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure, Elta Systems and other companies. Bharat Dynamics Limited will produce the missiles.
