Although Barak-8 does have an operational range of 500m to 100Km, but it cant be taken as a pure CIWS. Its more of an LR-SAM for area defence rather then like Barak-1 which is SR-SAM or CIWS which are for point defence.huh ..what ...!! You meant Barak 8 = LR SAM = CIWS

All set for long-range missile launch from ship
Close on the heels of the successful firing of a long-range surface-to-air-missile (LR-SAM), often referred to as Barak-8, from an Israel naval platform on Thursday, the missile jointly developed by India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) will now be test-fired from India’s new class of stealth destroyers under P15-A, INS Kolkata and INS Kochi.
Technicians from the DRDO, the IAI and BDL (Bharat Dynamics Limited which is producing the advanced missile) are configuring the sensors, especially the MFSTAR (multifunction surveillance and threat alert radar) active phased array radar, and ancillary systems on board INS Kolkata to fire the missile from the ship in December.
This will be followed by another flight of the missile from INS Kochi some time in March-April next year, said sources.
DRDL director and programme director of LRSAM, K. Jayaraman told The Hindu that the vertically-launched missile met all parameters and successfully decimated its target, an oncoming pilotless target aircraft, during its test-flight on Wednesday. “Ship-borne sensors and support equipment were used to steer the flight and acquire target, which has proven that all safety standards have been met,” he said.
‘DRDO played
a key role’
The DRDO played a key role in the joint programme by designing and developing dual pulse propulsion for the vertically-launched missile’s solid propulsion system which enhanced its range nearly 1.5 times besides expanding its flight envelope and target engagement capability, said Mr. Jayaraman.
The project is headed by Patrick D’ Silva.
Navy keen to take delivery
Naval sources said the MFSTAR and related components aboard the 7,500 tonne Kolkata-class ships were being calibrated right now and that Indian Navy was keen to take delivery of the missile from BDL.
Meanwhile, plans were afoot to take the programme forward with the development of an extended range surface-to-air missile (ERSAM) which would greatly enhance its range form the present 70 km, they indicated.
It will be test-fired from new class of stealth destroyers INS Kolkata and
INS Kochi

Indian Navy Test-Fires Missile Developed with Israel
NEW DELHI: The Indian Navy on Tuesday test-fired the Barak 8 long range surface to air missile (LRSAM) for the first time from an Indian warship, after its successful test from an Israeli naval platform last month.
Tests of the LRSAM system, jointly developed by the DRDO and IAI Israel, started on Tuesday from INS Kolkata, and will continue on Wednesday, the Indian Navy said.
"IN (Indian Navy) gears up for maiden firing of Long Range Surface2Air msl 4m INS Kolkata... (sic)," navy spokesperson Captain D.K. Sharma tweeted.
The LRSAM system has been jointly developed by the DRDO and IAI Israel.
The system is to be deployed as the major missile system on the largest indigenously-built warship, INS Kolkata, which was inducted into the navy last year.
In November, the missile was successfully test-fired for the first time from an Israeli naval platform.
The LRSAM programme consists of missiles, weapon control system, MFSTAR (radar), vertical launcher unit and two-way data link.
It will also be deployed on other naval ships including the recently commissioned INS Kamrota.

Can the naval platform SAM Barak 8 be used as land based air defense or be made as India's S300 or S400 whatever that be? If the Russians do not want to sell us their loss we can develop one with Israel. Faster way could be to capitalize the Barak 8 development into an Indian BMD like David's sling..

good news for india..
Barak 8 is rocking.. Indian and shoking enemies ...
good for indian.navy...
It's developed Israel -(85%)-india(15%)..that is true...
speed...2100/hour..
nd ..its like.. similar to... US PAC -3 SAM Defense system, also.. like Russian.. s-300 which is use Russian ( also we can tells Soviet era) by 1980..
nd it's not LR-SAM... we should call it MR SAM..
because..it range up to 80-100km
world's.. LR-SAM is everybody knows .. (because pm modi try to buy or rus.) s -400 of 450km range...with4300km/ hour speed..

In that case, Israel could have gone alone. At least, their budget is enough for funding of whole project.
Yet Israel is a technologically advanced nation, it also lacks some techs in which India has edge. Similarly, India is behind them in some technologies. Joint Venture solved problems of both.
