srael Aerospace Industries (IAI) signed a $ 50 million contract for MRSAM Marine Systems. The contract was signed by the Indian Navy and MDL and is intended for the supply of additional systems and complementary systems to the Barak 8 air defense system. For a variety of subsystems in the advanced air defense system.
Boaz Levy, IAI's Vice President and Director of the Systems, Missiles and Space Division: "IAI's partnership and strong relationship with the Indian Navy is reflected in all of our activities with our partners in India. Only recently we have successfully completed a multi-system trial in India, demonstrating the advanced capabilities of the Barak 8 system to the full satisfaction of our customers in India, and demonstrating the system's ability to work with force that enables central management of operational activity. This contract represents a breakthrough in the transition from the development and provision of service and maintenance systems to the operational needs of our customers. "
The Barak 8 MRSAM system is an operational air defense system used by the Israeli Navy and the Israeli Air, Land and Air Forces. The system is developed by IAI in cooperation with the Ministry of Defense, the Defense Development Authority of the Indian Ministry of Defense, the Navy, Elta, Israel Aerospace Industries, Rafael and other industries in India and Israel. The Barak 8 system has been sold over the past few years in a scope of more than $ 6 billion, and it provides broad and specific regional protection against a variety of naval, sea and land attack threats. The system combines a number of key systems at the forefront of technology: digital radar, command and control system, launchers, interceptors with advanced headers.

Few weeks ago Lockheed Martin and ELTA IAI systems have successfully demonstrated to the US Army a radar solution for the lower tier air defense and LTAMDS (LTAMDS). The companies offer the US Army an integrated solution that will inter alia include the air defense system "The Patriot".

The mock-up took place at the Sense off event at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico for two weeks, where the Lockheed Martin and Alta team completed a series of missile defense and air attack exercises that demonstrated radar capabilities and efficiency in meeting US military requirements from the LTAMDS system, For the missile defense mission.The demonstration was carried out using an MMR radar system used by the Iron Dome system, David's slingshot and IAI's air defense system.
The radar integrates balanced radar technology with advanced next-generation architecture that enables the development flexibility designed to support future changes in the operational needs and changing requirements of the system against future threats. Elta Systems and its strategic partner, Lockheed Martin, have adapted themselves to the level of US military requirements for the required detection, traceability and precision, while meeting a short and challenging timetable.
"The LTAMDS program requires proven technology specifically designed to deal with air threats and missile defense, both Lockheed Martin and Elta deliver a high-level technology program and offer an innovative approach to operational challenges," said Dr. Rob Smith, vice president and general manager, Sensors and sensors at Lockheed Martin. "We will leverage the technology that is ready to be manufactured and proven in the field to meet the requirements of the US military quickly and provide approved systems for use within 24 months of signing the initial contract." We have proven experience in implementing programs such as the Q-53 radar system, Times are critical.
Yoav Turgeman, IAI's President and CEO, said: "We are proud to partner with Lockheed Martin in additional business activities and view this partnership as a key part of IAI's strategy to strengthen our operations in the US, using the technological know-how we have accumulated over the years in the security field Aviation and Space. The proven technological capabilities of the MMR radar system are proven on the battlefield in Israel and abroad, and so far more than 100 such systems have been sold to customers around the world, and their capabilities in missile defense and aerial attacks will enable the US military to meet its operational objectives. "
As world leaders in ground radar systems, Lockheed Martin and Alta have collaborated on several radar development and production projects that provide Active Electronic Scanned Array (AESA) technology. Lockheed Martin launched Tactical Operational Radar with GaN technology from the TPS-77 Multi Role Radar supplied to Latvia in 2018. The company also signed a contract to integrate GaN technology into the US Army's Q-53 system. Elta produces the multi-mission radar MMR ELM-2084, also with GaN technology.The MMR detects and tracks aircraft and ballistic targets while providing missile interception and artillery preparation capabilities.The US Army is already acquiring the Iron Dome system, Which includes the MMR radar.
