Barak- 8:  Long Range Surface to Air Missile (LR SAM) successfully test-fired from INS Kolkata

Barak- 8Latest GK Today: Indian Navy successfully test-fired the nearly 70 KM range Surface to Air Missile Barak 8 from INS Kolkata on 30th December,2015. It paved the way for installation of the system, developed jointly by India and Israel, on board country’s frontline warships.
The Navy described the maiden firing of its newly developed Long Range Surface to Air Missile (LR SAM) as a significant milestone in enhancing its anti-air warfare capability.
Important facts
  • Apart from the missile, the system includes a Multi Functional Surveillance and Threat Alert Radar (MF STAR) for detection, tracking and guidance of the missile.
  • The firing trial of the LR-SAM has been jointly carried out by the Indian Navy, DRDO and Israel Aerospace Industries.
  • Israel made MF-STAR radar system is capable of simultaneously tracking hundreds of airborne targets to a range of more than 250 KM. DRDL, Hyderabad, a DRDO Lab, has jointly developed this missile in collaboration with Israel Aerospace Industries.
  • The LR-SAM has been manufactured by M/s Bharat Dynamics Limited.
  • These Surface-to-Air Missiles are fitted onboard the Kolkata Class Destroyers and would also be fitted on all future major warships of the Navy.
  • The missile along with the MF STAR would provide these ships the capability to neutralise aerial threats at extended ranges. Barak-8 is designed to defend naval vessels against incoming missiles, planes and drones.
  • Indian Navy has become part of a select group of Navies that have this niche capability, which would provide a fillip to India’s maritime operations.
  • Designed to defend against a variety of short-to-long -range airborne threats, including fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, drones and projectiles, Barak-8 incorporates phased array multi-mission radar, two-way data link, and a flexible command and control system, enabling users to simultaneously engage multiple targets day and night.
  • A Barak-8 battery, including the Adir radar system made by IAI subsidiary Elta Systems, a command and control system, and the missile launchers, is already installed on the deck of Israeli Navy ship Lahav, from which the new interceptor was fired last week as part of a complete trial of the system.
