The SAM system is based on IAI’s Barak 8, an operational advanced missile defence system used by Israel’s navy as well as by India’s navy, air and land forces. It provides broad aerial and points defence against a wide range of threats to the marine arena from the air, sea or land. The system integrates several advanced state-of-the-art systems, such as digital radar, command and control, launchers, interceptors with modern RF seekers, data link and system-wide connectivity.
The firing trial was carried out by the Indian Navy, DRDO and Israel Aerospace Industries.
The MRSAM has been manufactured by Bharat Dynamics Limited.
