[81], On 10 January 2009, it was reported that two Indian Air Force Su-30MKI fighter jets were sent to Russia for a retrofit program that would enable them to launch the missile. [181] BrahMos-NG will have lesser RCS (radar cross section) compared to its predecessor, making it harder for air defense systems to locate and engage the target. This one of the fastest hypersonic missiles in the world will be able to reach a speed of Mach 7 or 8575 km/h. The system can be used in tandem with and Inertial Navigation System (INS) to provide high-accuracy targeting without using any seeker. The present supersonic version can reach a speed of 2.8 times that of sound (2.8 Mach).

[76], The BrahMos-A is a modified air-launched variant of the missile with a range of 500 km which can be launched from a Sukhoi Su-30MKI as a standoff weapon. [26][27][6][28][29], The BrahMos has been developed as a joint venture between the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India and the Federal State Unitary Enterprise NPO Mashinostroyenia (NPOM) of Russia as BrahMos Aerospace via an inter-government agreement. [67][68][69], BrahMos was tested with an Indian seeker for the first time on 22 March 2018,[70] and was tested with an India-developed propulsion system, airframe and power supply on 30 September 2019.[71]. 2 In addition, the BrahMos is equipped with stealth technology designed to make it less visible to radar and other detection methods. The integration complex is located at Hyderabad and a production centre is located at Thiruvananthapuram. Its 2.8 mach speed means that it cannot be intercepted by some existing missile defence systems and its precision makes it lethal to water targets. The BrahMos-II is expected to have a range of 1,000 kilometres (620 mi; 540 nmi) and a speed of Mach 8. A direct hit on the target was achieved in both cases. [1][2] The ship-launched and land-based missiles can carry a 200 kg warhead, whereas the aircraft-launched variant (BrahMos A) can carry a 300 kg warhead. [77] To reduce the missile's weight to 2.55 tons, many modifications were made like using a smaller booster, adding fins for airborne stability after launch, and relocating the connector. [190][191], BrahMos claims it has the capability of attacking surface targets by flying as low as five metres in altitude and the maximum altitude it can fly is 14,000 metres. "Brahmos Supersonic Cruise Missile has achieved yet another milestone with successful test launch showcasing enhanced operational capabilities and additional indigenous technologies. Tested with India-developed propulsion system, airframe and power supply. The missile was launched from a land-based facility in Odisha. A two-stage missile with a solid propellant booster and liquid propellant ram jet system that gives it a 00 km range, the BrahMos with its Mach 2.5-2.8 speed, is one of the world’s fastest cruise missiles — about three and a half times faster than the American subsonic Harpoon cruise missile. [192] On 5 September 2010 BrahMos created a record for the first supersonic steep dive. By April 2013, Brahmos has been inducted in eight warships of the Indian Navy. [82] On 8 August 2009, Alexander Leonov, Director of the Russian Machine Building Research and Production Centre, said "we are ready for test launches." [239] In November 2020, Secretary of Defense Delfin Lorenzana said that the program to acquire medium-range ramjet supersonic BrahMos cruise missiles is moving forward but getting enough funds remains a challenge. In an exclusive interview to Livefist, BrahMos CEO & MD Dr. Sudhir Kumar Mishra today laid out the bustling multi-pronged work that the company is current engaged in. [91] After the IAF successfully tested Brahmos from a Su-30MKI against a sea-based target, it declared on 17 December 2019 that the integration of BrahMos-A on Su-30 MKI is complete. [22] A hypersonic version of the missile, BrahMos-II, is also presently under development with a speed of Mach 7–8 to boost aerial fast strike capability. The steep dive capability of the Block III enables it to hit targets hidden behind a mountain range. [6] On 20 January 2020, the IAF commissioned its first squadron of Su-30MKI fighters equipped with the PJ-10 BrahMos-A missile. You can find out more by clicking To carry the missile, the Su-30MKI undercarriage had to be strengthened, which also required new hard points and structural modifications. BRAHMOS Supersonic Cruise Missile, with major indigenous systems, successfully test-fired. The Indian Air Force also successfully test fired the BrahMos air version missile from its frontline Su-30 fighter jet aircraft on May 22, 2019. [93], In 2016, India became a member of the MTCR. Ship, submarine, aircraft, and land-based mobile launchers. The BrahMos PJ-10 is distinguished by its reported supersonic speed of between Mach 2.0-2.8, depending on the cruising altitude used. Source. It is the world’s fastest supersonic cruise missile, as well as the fastest anti-ship cruise missile in operation. [18][19][20] The land-launched and ship-launched versions are already in service. So far, the Indian Army has inducted three regiments of BrahMos. The first regiment with five mobile launcher cost $83 million to set up. [76], The missile was also planned to arm the Indian Navy's Ilyushin Il-38 and Tupolev Tu-142 maritime patrol and anti-submarine aircraft with 6 missiles per aircraft, but this could not be made possible due to insufficient ground clearance of the IL-38, high cost of modifying the Tu-142 and the questionable benefits of modifying an ageing fleet. The BrahMos is a medium-range supersonic cruise missile which can be launched from submarines, ships, aircraft or land. In a major boost for India`s missile strike capabilities, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has said that it can develop a complete hypersonic cruise missile system in the next four to five years which will have the capability to strike its targets at speeds at … Air-breathing ramjet propulsion is much more fuel-efficient than rocket propulsion, giving the BrahMos a longer range than a pure rocket-powered missile would achieve. During the cruise stage of fli… During the cruise stage of flight the missile will be propelled by a scramjet airbreathing jet engine . The liquid ramjet or the second stage then takes the missile closer to 3 Mach speed in cruise phase. Both land attack and Air launched versions were tested in two firings. In 2019, India upgraded the missile with a new range of 650 km with plans to eventually upgrade all missiles to a range of 1500 km. [30][31][32][33], Since late 2004, the missile has undergone several tests from a variety of platforms, including a land based test from the Pokhran range in the desert, in which the evasive[34] 'S' maneuver at Mach 2.8 was demonstrated for the Indian Army and a launch in which the land attack capability from sea was demonstrated. The missile after launching does not need any other controls, it automatically receives the positioning signal from the satellite and then maneuver to the target. India has already deployed a sizeable number of the original BrahMos missiles and other key assets in several strategic locations along the de-facto border with China in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh. [89][90] This made Indian Air Force the first in the world to have successfully tested such a type of air launched trisonic-class missile on a sea-based target. [79] An expert committee from the DRDO and the Indian Air Force (IAF) had ruled out any structural modifications to the Su-30MKI to carry the missile. [224][225] The defence ministry reported that due to the size and hull specifications of the BrahMos, few if any of its new ships will be able to accommodate it. Anti-aircraft carrier variant (tested in March 2012) – the missile gained the capability to attack aircraft carriers using the supersonic vertical dive variant of the missile that could travel up to 290 km. It will be the fastest hypersonic missile in the world, when fully developed. [88] On 22 November 2017, the missile was successfully test fired for the first time from a Sukhoi-30MKI against a sea-based target in the Bay of Bengal. Two Su-30MKI of the IAF would be modified by the HAL at its Nashik facility where they will also be integrated with the missile's aerial launcher. BrahMos-NG will have Land, Air, ship-borne and Submarine tube-launched variants. It is much sought-after because it … The BRAHMOS is one of the fastest cruise missiles in the world. In 2020 alone so far, BrahMos saw five launches including one by Indian Navy, two for IAF, one for Indian Army and one development trial. [28][29] The upgrade will also be applied to all existing BrahMos missiles. The range of the new land-attack version of the missile has been extended to 400 km from the original 290 km and its speed has been maintained … [75] In late January 2016, Russia confirmed that future Indian-made submarines would be armed with smaller version of the missile that could fit inside a torpedo tube. Eastern Command Unit Test-Fired BRAHMOS Missile from Car Nicobar Islands. [17] It is based on the Russian P-800 Oniks cruise missile and other similar sea-skimming Russian cruise missile technology. On 30 September 2020, India successfully test-fired an extended range BrahMos supersonic cruise missile. The Asian-Pacific nation would be a friendly nation that neither Russia nor India has any conflicts with. It is capable of very high speeds, topping out at Mach 3-Mach 3.5. The BRAHMOS is one of the fastest cruise missiles in the world. [24][25], In 2016, as India became a member of the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), India and Russia are now planning to jointly develop a new generation of Brahmos missiles with 800 km-plus range and an ability to hit protected targets with pinpoint accuracy. Regarded as one of the world’s premier cruise missiles with its supersonic speed of 2.8 Mach (almost 3,000 kmph), it is extremely difficult for enemy fighters to intercept and shoot down BrahMos. [15], The missile will arm the Sukhoi Su-30MKI, Mikoyan MiG-29K, HAL Tejas[183] and future inductions such as the Dassault Rafale,[17] Sukhoi Su-57, HAL FGFA, HAL MWF and possibly the Mikoyan MiG-35. BRAHMOS is capable of flying at a top speed of Mach 3 and is extremely lethal in striking down an enemy target in no time. [125][216] All these regiments will be part of the army's existing 40th and 41st Artillery Divisions. The cost of adapting the BrahMos for air launch was "phenomenal," but efforts to downsize the missile were abandoned after an attempt to reduce the size of the ramjet. [22], 40 IAF SU-30MKI are to undergo modifications to be equipped to carry the missile. [46] The BrahMos I Block-I for the army was successfully tested with new capabilities in the deserts of Rajasthan, at a test range near Pokharan in December 2004 and March 2007. The ramjet is what makes the BrahMos missile unique in India’s arsenal. [233] Informal negotiations are ongoing between India and Vietnam for the sale of BrahMos missiles. Successful firing of BRAHMOS Air Launched Missile from Su-30MKI Aircraft Ramjet engine will be replacing the scramjet engine in this version of the BrahMos missile. Submarine-launched, land-attack variant (under development, expected completion in 2011), This page was last edited on 15 January 2021, at 20:32. [236] In recent years, the export of BrahMos to Vietnam has picked up pace with plans and negotiations reaching a possible conclusion in mid-2016. [72], The submarine-launched variant of Brahmos was test fired successfully for the first time from a submerged pontoon near Visakhapatnam at the coast of Bay of Bengal on 20 March 2013. A hypersonic version of the missile, capable of reaching a speed of 5 Mach, is under development. BrahMos is the only supersonic cruise missile in the world that flies at three times the speed of sound (2.8 Mach). In 2016, India became a member of the MTCR. Initially Brahmos-NG was referred to as Brahmos-M.[182] Additionally, the BrahMos-NG will have an AESA radar rather than the mechanically scanned one on the PJ-10. Countries across the globe show interest in buying BrahMos, Akash", "BrahMos To Export Cruise Missile Systems: CEO", "Malaysia plans to buy 18 Russian fighter jets", Indian BrahMos cruise missile could be exported to Southeast Asian and Latin American countries, "BrahMos missile exports a challenging proposition", "Vietnam May Purchase India's Deadly Supersonic BrahMos Cruise Missile", "India to overlook Chinese objections, sell BrahMos missiles to Vietnam", "Philippine army to buy BrahMos missiles and more hardware", "BrahMos program in progress, funds yet to be available: DND", "AFP's missile system will have to wait -- Lorenzana", Features and advantages of the BrahMos supersonic missile. The BrahMos supersonic cruise missile can be … It travels at supersonic speed and can gain a speed of Mach 2.8. This is the second time an a ir-launched test of the 2.5-ton supersonic air-to-surface version of the BrahMos missile was carried out successfully. It can be launched either in a vertical or inclined position and is capable of covering targets over a 360-degree horizon. On November 24, the Indian Army had "successfully" test-fired the surface-to-surface BrahMos missile that flies at a speed of 2.8 Mach or almost three times the speed of sound. BrahMos Aerospace, an India-Russian joint venture, produces the supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from submarines, ships, aircraft, or from land platforms. BrahMos-II or BrahMos-2 or BrahMos Mark II (note: not to be confused with BrahMos block-2) is a hypersonic cruise missile currently under joint development by Russia's NPO Mashinostroyenia and India's Defence Research and Development Organisation, which have together formed BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited. [49][50] The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) said that there were "small hitches" in the last stage of the test firing due to delay in input of satellite navigation input to the Inertial Navigation System, the missile travelled for 112 seconds instead of the slated 84 seconds and fell 7 km away from the target. India has offered the Philippines an arrangement to acquire the missiles through soft loan but President Rodrigo Duterte is reportedly not keen on taking the offer. [40] Currently 65% of the missile is manufactured in India and there are plans to increase this to 85% by replacing the components with an Indian made seeker and booster. This was the first vertical launch of a supersonic missile from a submerged platform. BrahMos-II, a hypersonic version of the missile, is also currently under development. BrahMos is a two-stage missile with a solid propellant booster engine as its first stage which brings it to supersonic speed and gets separated, according to BrahMos Aerospace Ltd. [240] The procurement process of BrahMos was already in the advanced stage by March 2020 but the COVID-19 pandemic halted the process and caused the Philippines reprioritizing its budget. NEW DELHI: India on Tuesday "successfully" test fired the surface-to-surface supersonic cruise missile BrahMos as part of a series of planned trials of the weapon, known for its precision strike capabilities, official sources said. It will be deployed in Arunachal Pradesh. India is now the only nation in the world with this advanced technology". In February 2010, a senior executive said that BrahMos was in negotiations with Chile, Brazil, South Africa and Indonesia regarding the purchase of the missile. It is expected to be ready for testing by 2020. The land attack version of BrahMos has the capability of cruising at 2.8 Mach speed and with the upgraded capability, the missile can hit targets … Industry sources say that interested countries include Vietnam, Indonesia, and Venezuela. India and Russia are now planning to jointly develop a new generation of Brahmos missiles with 1500 km-plus range and an ability to hit protected targets with pinpoint accuracy. [21] An air-launched variant of BrahMos appeared in 2012 and entered service in 2019. The missile’s high speed makes it difficult to intercept. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated all the team members of the Defence Research and Development Organisation and BrahMos for the mission. Successful firing of BRAHMOS Air Launched Missile from Su-30MKI Aircraft [169], India and Russia intend to make 2,000 BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles over the next ten years through their joint venture company, and nearly 50% of them are expected to be exported to friendly countries. India, China border stand-off. [1][180] The system is expected to be inducted in the year 2024. This one of the fastest hypersonic missiles in the world will be able to reach a speed of Mach 7 or 8575 km/h. [237] The only objection could be from China, which sees the selling of these missiles to Vietnam as an act of belligerence and interference in the South China Sea dispute. It is capable of very high speeds, topping out at Mach 3-Mach 3.5. [18], Although BrahMos was primarily an anti-ship missile, the BrahMos Block III can also engage land-based targets. Its propulsion is based on the Russian missile, and missile guidance has been developed by BrahMos Aerospace. [238], In October 2019, Philippines was reported to be in discussion with India for a possible BrahMos missile acquisition project. By continuing to use the site, you agree to the use of cookies. Submarine-launched, anti-ship variant – Tested successfully for the first time from a submerged pontoon on 20 March 2013. The present supersonic version can reach a speed of 2.8 times that of sound (2.8 Mach). [44][45] The vertical launch of BrahMos was conducted on 18 December 2008 from INS Ranvir. The range of the new land-attack version of the missile has been extended to 400 km from the original 290 km and its speed has been maintained at Mach 2.8 which is nearly three times that of sound. this link, England in Sri Lanka, 2 Test Series, 2021, West Indies in Bangladesh, 3 ODI Series, 2021, Afghanistan and Ireland in UAE, 3 ODI Series, 2021. It can engage ground targets from an altitude as low as 10 metres for surgical strikes without any collateral damage. Some observers have pointed to the CM-400AKG’s high speed in order to draw comparisons with the Indian armed forces’ own Brahmos cruise missile. On 26 February 2012, A. Sivathanu Pillai said that the air-launched version of BrahMos is being developed and will be tested by the end of 2012. [18][193] The air-launched version has a smaller booster and additional tail fins for added stability during launch. With a speed of Mach 8, it will have double the speed of the current BrahMos missile, and it will be the fastest hypersonic missile in the world. The BrahMos missile has an identical configuration for land, sea, and sub-sea platforms. [85][86], A demonstration flight was carried out at Hindustan Aeronautics Limited Nashik on 25 June 2016 as a modified Su-30MKI carrying BrahMos-A underwent a successful trial flight,[87] the first time a heavyweight supersonic cruise missile had been integrated on a long-range fighter aircraft; the project to adapt the weapon for air launch was approved in 2011, but was bogged down with technology transfer and intellectual property rights concerns. With this launch, the Indian army's requirement for land attacks with Block-II advanced seeker software with target discriminating capabilities was met. The BrahMos supersonic cruise missile is considered to be the world`s fastest cruise missile at the moment with speeds of around 2.8 Machs. BrahMos cruise missile development. BrahMos became the only supersonic cruise missile possessing advanced capability of selection of a particular land target amongst a group of targets, providing an edge to the user with precise hit. [202] Another assembly line is being established at Pilani.[203]. The ramjet is what makes the BrahMos missile unique in India’s arsenal. It is the fastest supersonic cruise missile in the world. DRDO, BrahMosMissile," he tweeted. Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated scientists and engineers after India successfully test-fired a new version of the surface-to-surface supersonic cruise missile BrahMos having a range of around 400 km. [192][201] The Brahmos headquarters complex is located at New Delhi and consists of a design centre and aerospace knowledge centre. The missile engaged the designated mock targets close to 300 km away with a direct hit on the ground target in both cases with pinpoint accuracy from a mobile platform. The IAF is also integrating the Brahmos supersonic cruise missile on over 40 Sukhoi fighter jets which is aimed at bolstering overall combat capability of the force. Missile: Brahmos considered world's fastest supersonic cruise missile . It can be released from the height of 500 to 14,000 metres (1,640 to 46,000 ft). [178] [15][179], BrahMos-NG (Next Generation) is a mini version based on the existing BrahMos, will have same 290 km range and mach 3.5 speed but it will weigh around 1.5 tons, 5 metres in length and 50 cm in diameter, making BrahMos-NG 50 percent lighter and three metres shorter than its predecessor. The BrahMos missile has a maximum speed of 2.8 Mach (around 3,450 kmph or 2,148 mph), and is difficult to intercept by surface-to-air missiles currently deployed from warships across the world. [35], Keltec (now known as BrahMos Aerospace Trivandrum Ltd or BATL), an Indian state-owned firm, was acquired by BrahMos Corporation in 2008. For the test, the missile had to identify a building among a cluster of buildings in an urban environment. Ship-launched, land-attack variant (operational), Land-launched, land-attack variant (operational), Land-launched, anti-ship variant (In induction, tested on 10 December 2010), BrahMos Block II land-attack variant (Operational), BrahMos Block III land-variant (being inducted). [65], The new navigation system uses an Indian chip called G3OM (GPS, GLONASS, GAGAN on a Module). BrahMos Aerospace Corporation's director Dr Sivathanu Pillai said, "The missile performance was absolutely normal until the last phase, but the missile missed the target, though it maintained the direction." Ramjet engine will be replacing the scramjet engine in this version of the BrahMos missile. It is the world's fastest anti-ship cruise missile in operation. This would include funds for the integration and testing of the BrahMos on Su-30MKI of the IAF. The supersonic cruise missile is capable of hitting targets at more than 400-km range.The test was carried out under PJ-10 project of the Defence Research and Development Organisation(DRDO), under which the missile was launched with an indigenous booster. Advanced versions of range above 1,000 kilometers and speed upto … It is capable of being launched from multiple platforms like submarines, ships, aircraft and land based Mobile Autonomous Launchers (MAL). In a statement, it also said the successful launch has paved the way for the serial production of the indigenous booster and other indigenous components of the powerful BrahMos weapons system. The plan is to acquire at least two batteries of the BrahMos cruise missiles with each battery having three mobile autonomous launchers. Once developed, it will fly at twice the speed of BrahMos, which is swifter and heavier than the American Tomahawk cruise missile. [23], India wanted the BrahMos to be based on a mid range cruise missile like the P-700 Granit. Why BrahMos is a Threat to China? On 24 November, the Indian Army had "successfully" test-fired the surface-to-surface BrahMos missile that flies at a speed of 2.8 Mach or almost three times the speed of sound. The missile, featuring a number of indigenously developed sub-systems, was flight tested from a land-based mobile launcher for a designated range. Union Home Minister Amit Shah complimented DRDO for the successful test-firing of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile and said the state-of-the-art weapon is a testimony of India's defence potential. The BrahMos, which derives its name from the Brahmaputra and Moscow rivers in India and Russia, is based on the earlier Russian design for the SS-N-26 (3M55 Oniks/Yakhont/Bastion) cruise missile. This is the second test-firing of the extended range version of the missile which has an indigenously developed airframe and booster. [175], BrahMos-II is a hypersonic cruise missile currently under development and is estimated to have a range of 600 km. During a user trial on 20 January 2009, BrahMos was tested with a new navigation system but it failed to hit the target. "Congratulations to Team DRDO and Brahmos for the successful flight testing of BRAHMOS Supersonic Cruise Missile with Indigenous Booster and Air Frame for designated range. It has a two-stage propulsion system, with a solid-propellant rocket for initial acceleration and a liquid-fuelled ramjet responsible for sustained supersonic cruise. The BrahMos-II is expected to have a range of 450 kilometres (280 mi; 240 nmi) [1] and a speed of Mach 7. [41][42], BrahMos was first test-fired on 12 June 2001 from the Integrated Test Range (ITR), Chandipur in a vertical launch configuration. It is the second of the BrahMos series of cruise missiles. BrahMos successfully hit the intended target in two and a half minutes of launch. Air-launched, anti-ship variant (In induction), Air-launched, land-attack variant (In induction). [54] After the third test, Lt Gen Noble Thamburaj, said that the Indian Army wanted the BrahMos to achieve high standards of accuracy and congratulated the scientists on behalf of the Indian Army. BrahMos missile test-fired at nearly 3 times speed of sound. Why is the history of Nilganj's massacre unheard? [80] On 22 October 2008, A. Sivathanu Pillai, Chief Controller, R&D, DRDO and CEO and managing director of BrahMos Aerospace, announced that trials and tests were to be carried out by 2011, and the IAF would get its own version of BrahMos by 2012. [47][48] "India is extremely proud of DRDO for successfully testing the indigenously developed extended range BrahMos supersonic cruise missile.
