[192][201] The Brahmos headquarters complex is located at New Delhi and consists of a design centre and aerospace knowledge centre. This version of the BrahMos missile will use air-breathing scramjet propulsion technology and would be more fuel-efficient than a traditional rocket-powered missile. [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. [202] Another assembly line is being established at Pilani.[203]. With this successful mission, the indigenous content in the formidable weapon has reached a high value, thus bolstering India’s defence indigenisation and the flagship ‘Make in India’ programme. [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. [233] Informal negotiations are ongoing between India and Vietnam for the sale of BrahMos missiles. As on today, 10 Indian Naval Ships have been fitted with BrahMos missiles. 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. The acquisition will be done through a "government-to-government deal". Here's the video via @IaSouthern of #IndianArmy's successful #BrahMos launch today. [82] On 8 August 2009, Alexander Leonov, Director of the Russian Machine Building Research and Production Centre, said "we are ready for test launches." [226], In September 2016, it was revealed that the Russian Defense Ministry is interested in purchasing the air-launched BrahMos to arm their Su-30SM fighters. This is the second test-firing of the extended range version of the missile which … [35], Keltec (now known as BrahMos Aerospace Trivandrum Ltd or BATL), an Indian state-owned firm, was acquired by BrahMos Corporation in 2008. In short, today’s launch was the fourth successful mission of BrahMos in just over two months. BrahMos supersonic cruise missile: India successfully conducted its second test-fire of the extended range BrahMos supersonic cruise missile on September 30. So far, the Indian Army has inducted three regiments of BrahMos. The company was established on 12 February 1998 with an authorised share capital of US$250 million. Submarine-launched, land-attack variant (under development, expected completion in 2011), This page was last edited on 15 January 2021, at 20:32. The vertical launch of BrahMos was conducted on 18 December 2008 from INS Ranvir. More launches of the missile on different modes are lined up this week to test the accuracy and extended range of the weapon. [73][74] The missile can be launched from a depth of 40 to 50 m (130 to 160 ft). [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. [56][57][58][59], The 5 September 2010 test of BrahMos created a world record for being the first cruise missile to be tested at supersonic speeds in a steep-dive mode. The missile demonstrated the weapon’s unmatched lethal ability and formidable precision strike capability. Defence sources said the test, the second of the extended range BrahMos missile, took place from a land-based mobile launcher at 10.30 am. [188], The former President of India, A. P. J. Abdul Kalam asked BrahMos Aerospace to develop an advanced version of the BrahMos cruise missile to maintain India's lead in the field. This was the first vertical launch of a supersonic missile from a submerged platform. and that "The problem was in the software, not hardware". 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. The integration complex is located at Hyderabad and a production centre is located at Thiruvananthapuram. On 14 June 2004, another test was conducted at ITR and BrahMos was fired from a mobile launcher. [17] It is based on the Russian P-800 Oniks cruise missile and other similar sea-skimming Russian cruise missile technology. In this mode, the missile then dives on to the top of the target. The IAF has operationalised the No 222 Sqn based out of Thanjavur as the first Sukhoi Sqn armed with BrahMos early this year. By April 2013, Brahmos has been inducted in eight warships of the Indian Navy. [51] According to BrahMos Corporation, another test of the new missile was to be conducted within one month,[52] but it was eventually conducted on 4 March 2009 and was deemed successful. India has test-fired a new version of the surface-to-surface supersonic cruise missile BrahMos and anti-radiation missile Rudram-1. Both land attack and Air launched versions were tested in two firings. [16] It is a joint venture between the Russian Federation's NPO Mashinostroyeniya and India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), who together have formed BrahMos Aerospace. [185] A model of the new variant was showcased on 20 February 2013, at the 15th anniversary celebrations of BrahMos Corporations. BrahMos Aerospace, an India-Russian joint venture, produces the supersonic cruise missile … [43] On 5 March 2008, the land attack version of the missile was fired from the destroyer INS Rajput and the missile hit and destroyed the right target among a group of targets. [235] On 20 April 2016, BrahMos Aerospace spokesman Praveen Pathak said that the first export contract on delivering BrahMos to a country in the Asian-Pacific Region will be signed by the end of 2016. This would include funds for the integration and testing of the BrahMos on Su-30MKI of the IAF. It will be deployed in Arunachal Pradesh. The BrahMos missile has an identical configuration for land, sea, and sub-sea platforms. [47] The Brahmos has been inducted in three regiments of the Indian Army. China is one of the main nations that has objections about its neighbours getting these missiles for their navies. It can be released from the height of 500 to 14,000 metres (1,640 to 46,000 ft). BrahMos Aerospace planned to deliver the missile to the IAF in 2015, where it is expected to arm at least three squadrons. [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. [18][193] The air-launched version has a smaller booster and additional tail fins for added stability during launch. Prior to that on September 30 this year, a BrahMos missile carrying an indigenous booster and airframe section was successfully flight tested from ITR, Balasore in Odisha. Fired from a moving ship at a decommissioned vessel, First production missile integrated at BrahMos Integration Complex, Hyderabad, Failed to correctly discriminate target located within a cluster, First successful test in a target discriminatory role, Operational test of the second army regiment, Developmental flight test with 25 new subsystems and components, Tested with a GLONASS navigation system derived from, Tested in steep dive-cum-target discrimination mode, First test with advanced guidance system and indigenously built software algorithm, 2 missiles tested in top attack configuration, Tested Indian fuel management system and a few non-metallic airframe components, Tested to validate service life extension of the missile under extreme weather conditions. The BrahMos I Block-I for the army wa… New Delhi: A naval version of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile was successfully test-fired from an indigenously built stealth destroyer of the Indian Navy in the Arabian Sea on Sunday, officials said. [189] He stated that a hypersonic version of BrahMos would be needed that could deliver its payload and return to base. BrahMos anti-cruise missile tyest fired Indian Navy on December 1, 2020, successfully test-fired the naval-version of BrahMos supersonic cruise missile in … The test fire was part of a … After release, the missile free falls for 100–150 metres, then goes into a cruise phase at 14,000 metres and finally the terminal phase at 15 metres. [18], The high speed of the BrahMos likely gives it better target-penetration characteristics than lighter subsonic cruise-missiles, such as Tomahawk. India test-fires air launched version of BrahMos supersonic cruise missile. A look at the supersonic cruise missile, the significance of its land, sea, and air-launched versions and the strategic posturing behind the ongoing series of tests in the light situation with China and of competition in the strategically important Indian … New Delhi: A naval version of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile was successfully test-fired by the Indian Navy in the Bay of Bengal on Tuesday as part of a series of trials being carried out by the three services, official sources said. This is the second successful test … [215] Each of the two new regiments would have between four and six batteries of three to four Mobile Autonomous Launchers (72 missiles per regiment) that can be connected to a mobile command post. Being twice as heavy and almost four times as fast as Tomahawk, the BrahMos has more than 32 times the on-cruise kinetic energy of a Tomahawk missile, although it carries only 3/5 the payload and a fraction of the range, which suggests that the missile was designed with a different tactical role. [175], BrahMos-II is a hypersonic cruise missile currently under development and is estimated to have a range of 600 km. Its propulsion is based on the Russian missile, and missile guidance has been developed by BrahMos Aerospace. [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. Talks could begin in 2017. “Indian Army successfully launched its BrahMos supersonic cruise missile today in a top-attack configuration, hitting a target in the Bay of Bengal with pin point accuracy,” Southern Command of Indian Army said. The airframe and booster of the missile has been developed indigenously. Twin firings was carried out as a part of the routine operational training. BrahMos successfully hit the intended target in two and a half minutes of launch. 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. The plan is to acquire at least two batteries of the BrahMos cruise missiles with each battery having three mobile autonomous launchers. [125][216] All these regiments will be part of the army's existing 40th and 41st Artillery Divisions. [18][19][20] The land-launched and ship-launched versions are already in service. With this launch, the Indian army's requirement for land attacks with Block-II advanced seeker software with target discriminating capabilities was met. [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. On October 18, a naval version of the Brahmos missile was successfully test fired from an indigenously-built stealth destroyer of the Indian Navy in the Arabian sea. The missile had hit a Battle Practice Target positioned in the Arabian Sea during the launch on October 18. The BrahMos supersonic cruise missile was successfully test-fired from a Su-30 MKI fighter aircraft on May 22, 2019. [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. According to the central government's IT rules, obscene or offensive statement made against a person, religion, community or nation is a punishable offense, and legal action would be taken against people who indulge in such activities. The BrahMos (designated PJ-10)[15] is a medium-range ramjet supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from submarine, ships, aircraft, or land. This is the second test-firing of the extended range version of the missile which has an indigenously developed airframe and booster.

Submarine-launched, anti-ship variant – Tested successfully for the first time from a submerged pontoon on 20 March 2013. The land attack version of BrahMos has the capability of cruising at 2.8 Mach speed and is in service since 2007. The intergovernmental agreement between India and Russia to develop the BrahMos stipulates that both countries would have to approve an export sale. To carry the missile, the Su-30MKI undercarriage had to be strengthened, which also required new hard points and structural modifications. This test was held on October 30. The Rudram-1 is planned to be inducted into service by 2022. The missile was test-fired from the integrated test range launching complex-3 (LC-3) at Chandipur around 11.35 am. [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. [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. [36] Approximately ₹1,500 crore (equivalent to ₹34 billion or US$471.7 million in 2019) will be invested in the facility to make BrahMos components and integrate the missile systems. [47][48] The designated target was located at 200 kilometers in Bay of Bengal. On 14 June 2004, another test was conducted at ITR and BrahMos was fired from a mobile launcher. [1][180] The system is expected to be inducted in the year 2024. As per this plan, the first test of the air-launched version of the missile was to be conducted by December 2012. A direct hit on the target was achieved in both cases. [17][78], The air-launched version for the Indian Air Force was ready for testing in 2008.
