An electrician who researched and developed missile detection methods for Islamic State with 'unwavering focus' has been jailed for at least six years and nine months.

Australian citizen Haisem Zahab, 44, was sentenced to nine years with a non-parole period of six years and nine months at NSW Supreme Court on Friday. 

He spent three years helping ISIS from his home in Young, rural New South Wales before he was arrested in February 2017. 

Zahab pleaded guilty to knowingly providing support or resources to a terrorist organisation in 2018.  

Diagrams and computer designs reveal his research was into the development of a laser warning receiver, rockets and rocket guidance for IS.
