IAI successfully tests MRSAM defense system by Geoff Ziezulewicz Tel Aviv, Israel (UPI) Jul 7, 2016
Israel Aerospace Industries has reported a successful test firing of its medium-range surface-to-air missile defense system, or MRSAM, the company said Thursday. The new system was jointly developed by IAI and India's Defense Research and Development Organization, the company said in a statement. It was tested an Indian test range and is an advanced path-breaking air and missile defense array that provides protection from a variety of aerial platforms. The naval version is used by the Indian air force, Indian navy and Israeli defense forces, IAI said. The system features an advanced phased array radar, command and control, as well as mobile launchers and missiles. Three flight tests were undertaken, with each simulating a different scenario. The tests validated all the components of the weapon systems, IAI said. The MRSAM missiles were fired from a land-based mobile launcher, with the missiles acquiring and successfully intercepting the threat.
