The Israeli Navy, the Ministry of Defense's Directorate of Defense Research & Development, and the Israel Aerospace Industries completed an interception test using a long-range interceptor – LRAD, last week.
The Israeli Navy’s missile ships, of the Sa'ar 6 class corvette model, which were declared operational during the ‘Swords of Iron’ War, are equipped with wide aerial defense layers combining kinetic and non-kinetic systems. The 'Barak Magen' aerial defense system and the LRAD long-range interceptor completed the Israeli Navy the ability to manage a wide variety of aerial threats. The test was carried out by the INS "Atzmaut" (Independence) missile ship.
During the test, a precise 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. This test is a proof of the system's operational capability and readiness during combat.
The ‘Barak Magen’ system is an advanced aerial defense system produced by the Israel Aerospace Industries, which incorporates a multi-mission radar that enables the detection of a variety of threats, their classification by the weapon system, and their interception by a long-range interceptor. The system has the ability to deal with a wide range of threats including Ballistic, Cruise Missiles, UAVs, and more.
These days, as the IDF is dealing with a variety of aerial threats, from several arenas, both near and far, the operationalization of the 'LRAD' long-range interceptor will strengthen the Israeli Navy's capability to achieve naval superiority.
