One Family. The Right Interceptor for Every Mission.
At the heart of BARAK MX is a family of purpose-designed surface-to-air interceptors, providing overlapping layers of protection from 15 to 150 km.
BARAK MX enables commanders to match the response to the threat, mission and operational priority. Mixed interceptor loads, combined with hard- and soft-kill options, provide the flexibility to maximize protection while optimizing the use of defence resources, IAI’s “Mix for Max” approach.
| INTERCEPTOR | RANGE |
| BARAK SR | 15 km |
| BARAK MR | 35 km |
| BARAK LR | 70 km |
| BARAK ER | 150 km |
BARAK MX was designed from the outset as a fully network-centric system, connecting sensors, battle management and effectors across units, sites and platforms.
Its flexible architecture enables integration with existing customer sensors and legacy systems, supporting autonomous operation as well as integration into broader national and coalition defence networks. This allows customers to strengthen their defensive capabilities while leveraging existing infrastructure and adapting the system to evolving operational needs.
BARAK MX combines IAI’s extensive experience in sensors, battle management, electronic warfare and missile defence within one integrated system.
Its modular, software-based architecture is designed for continuous evolution, enabling new capabilities, effectors and future interceptors to be incorporated as threats and operational requirements change.
Selected by 13 countries worldwide, BARAK MX delivers more than protection against today’s threats. It provides a defence architecture built to evolve for tomorrow.
