17 July 2019: Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has entered an agreement worth $50 million for provision of complementary Naval MRSAM (Medium Range Surface-to-Air Missile) systems. The contracts were entered with the MDL Shipyard and the Indian Navy. According to the contract, IAI will provide complimentary systems for the air defense system (ADS). They include follow up order for a range of maintenance and other services for different sub-systems of IAI's advanced MSRAM ADS.
Boaz Levi, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Systems, Missiles & Space Group said, "IAI's partnership and strong relationship with the Indian Navy is reflected in all activities with our partners in India. Only recently we have successfully completed a multi-system trial in India that demonstrated the advanced technological centralised management capabilities of the air defence system to the utmost satisfaction of our Indian partners. This contract is a breakthrough as it advances us from system development and delivery to looking after the operational needs of our customers."
