Barak MX is an Israeli modular multi-mission air and missile defense system suitable for land and naval deployment, designed to defend against aircraft, helicopters, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), anti-ship missiles, cruise missiles, as well as tactical ballistic missiles. The original purpose of the system is to protect vessels and strategic naval installations. The system was developed and manufactured by Israel Aerospace Industries. The missile's rocket engine is manufactured at the "Givon" plant (formerly of IMI Systems and since November 2018 of "Tomer (Elbit Systems)"). Unlike the Barak 8 system, which was developed and manufactured in cooperation between IAI, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and the Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), and the Barak 1, which was developed together with Rafael, the Barak MX is an exclusive development of IAI based on the experience of the Barak 8 and Barak 1 systems. The system is installed on the Israeli Navy 's Sa'ar 6-class ships, where it is called "Barak Magen". The land-based configuration of the system was also used by the Israeli Air Force 's air defence system during Operation Am Kalavi.
