IAI expands on multi-layered approach to integrated air defence using Barak MX missile family, hinting at smart launcher function for better target acquisition; downplays reports of Moroccan acquisition.
Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) displayed its Barak LRAD (long-range air defence) and Barak ER interceptor missiles at Singapore Airshow 2022.
The display coincides with media reports suggesting that the Royal Moroccan Armed Forces has inked a deal for the Barak MX integrated air and missile defence system, which both missiles are part of.
IAI official Ron Tryfus declined to comment on the reports when questioned by Shephard, but said that the company promotes the Barak MX system all over the world and that it attracts significant interest due to its unique capabilities.
