From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Barak (the Hebrew word for Lightning) is an Indo-Israeli surface-to-air missile designed to be used as a point-defense missile on warships, defending against aircraft, anti-ship missiles, and UAVs.
Barak was developed in a joint venture between Israel Aircraft Industries and RAFAEL and is based on RAFAEL's vertically launched missile.
