Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has signed an MOU with Australian defense company Daronmont Technologies, to deliver advanced air and missile defense capabilities within the framework of Australian MOD Tender for the purchase of defense systems and other ADF programs. The signing took place as part of the AVALON Australian International Airshow. 

IAI will leverage Daronmont's integration, development and manufacturing capabilities as part of its broad Australian Industry Capability (AIC) strategy to deliver the combat proven BARAK-MX Air and Missile Defense (AMD) system providing effective defense to the ADF and Australian national assets, rapid initial operational capability (IOC), and a proven path to Australian industrial sovereignty in the AMD realm.

The Barak-MX Air & Missile Defense System developed by IAI is one of the world's most advanced operational air Defense systems, used by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) naval forces and the Indian Land, Naval and Air Forces as well as with other operators on four continents. The system provides both wide-area and targeted Defense capabilities against wide span of threats. Barak-MX aggregates several key cutting-edge systems including AESA radar, weapon control system, launchers, and a family of interceptors for different ranges and most advanced radar seeker, datalink communications and system-wide connectivity. 

Ben Norris, CEO, Daronmont Technologies, said: “We’re looking forward to developing our AIC partnership with IAI and working together to deliver a state-of-the-art solution designed to address the capability gap in medium-range ground-based air-Defense, should Defense choose IAI to deliver AIR-6502.

Guy Bar Lev, EVP and GM of Systems, Missiles & Space Group, IAI said: "We are honored to be partnering with Daronmont to offer the Australian MOD Barak-MX Defense system, one of the world’s most-advanced air-Defense solutions. The Barak family includes various range interceptors, and combines the capability to intercept various air Defense threats from both naval and land platforms.
