This new company, with its registered office in Delhi, will serve as the single point of contact for providing long-term product support to the Medium Range Surface-to-Air Missile (MRSAM) systems used by India's defense forces.
The MRSAM system includes an advanced phased array radar, command and control shelter, mobile launchers, and interceptors with an advanced RF seeker. This system is used by the Indian Air Force, Indian Army, Indian Navy, and also the Israeli defense forces.
This partnership marks a significant step in strengthening the relationship between the two companies, which have a long history of collaboration on strategic programs. The joint venture aims to provide life cycle support, both technical and maintenance-related, for the MRSAM air-defense systems.
BEL and IAI have a long history of collaboration on strategic programs for India's defense forces.
Last year in September, the two companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore opportunities in the Short Range Air Defence Systems domain.
Moreover, BEL and IAI have also collaborated on developing tactical missile systems for India's defense forces.
