Maritime security extends beyond the deployment of naval forces and encompasses
safeguarding commercial ports, energy infrastructures, and transportation lines. In response, nations are enhancing their defense capabilities, striving for improved intelligence and maritime dominance. IAI, Israel’s premier Aerospace and Defense company, plays a pivotal role in this scenario. Its extensive maritime portfolio caters to diverse missions, such as naval warfare and area defense.
IAI’s maritime operations concentrate on Maritime Situational Awareness (MSA), Offensive and Defensive Weapon Systems, and Autonomous Technologies. MSA, fundamental for
maritime sovereignty and naval operations, is integral to IAI’s Naval Combat Suites solutions. IAI’s prowess is evident in the Israel Navy Sa’ar 6 Corvette, where the company was selected to integrate its radars, offensive and defensive weapons, and other capabilities to meet diverse naval requirements while maintaining affordability.
MSA has become crucial due to expanding threats and responsibilities, particularly in the Economic Exclusion Zones (EEZ). IAI offers comprehensive solutions for these needs- from complete naval combat suites that include the sensors, battle management, and weapon systems for new vessels or upgraded naval platforms to specific systems. IAI also offers modular combat systems packed in containerized modules that can deploy ad-hoc on naval vessels, enabling such platforms to increase their defensive and offensive capabilities.
Furthermore, IAI’s naval combat suites comprise its combat-proven offensive and defensive systems, including the Blue Spear 5th Generation surface-to-surface missile, Barak MX air defense system and loitering weapons. The Blue Spear is designed to engage long-range threats in a complex, cluttered environment without endangering friendly or non-involved vessels. IAI’s loitering missiles prove highly effective weapons for actionable response by providing the ability to collect intel and assess the situation at the target, select an impact point, and even abort an attack if the conditions demand such action. IAI offers several loitering weapons, from the larger EO-guided HAROP to the smaller Mini Harpy, utilizing a unique, multi-spectral sensor (EO/RF) to detect and locate targets at sea passively.
The Barak MX air defense system provides self-defense for the platform carrying the system and area defense for its task force by providing long-range, hemispheric air defense for naval forces. Operational with the Israeli Navy and foreign navies, Barak MX features a high level of connectivity, enabling the system to address complex scenarios and extend coverage to protect vast areas over sea.
Learning from past conflicts, IAI collaborates with industry partners, customers, and navies to prepare for emerging threats. This cooperation enables a better understanding of
challenges in the naval arena, thereby facilitating improved solutions to meet new needs.
As a key priority, IAI is dedicated to leveraging advanced technologies and providing creative solutions for demanding marine environments. IAI has excelled in delivering innovative solutions based on technological achievements, extensive research, development, and engineering that effectively tackle these complex challenges. IAI’s wide-ranging solutions cater to various threats at growing ranges of ever more complex battlefield scenarios, ensuring its stakeholders remain secure, agile, and fully prepared to meet the most challenging operational demands.
