BRAHMOS-NG
While BRAHMOS continues to maintain its forward trajectory as the world's best and fastest cruise missile system, rapid revolution in military technology worldwide has paved the way for the development of yet another futuristic weapon - BRAHMOS-NG (Next Generation). BRAHMOS-NG promises to become one of the most potent weapon systems in future, carrying forward the excellent lineage of the existing world-class BRAHMOS.
The BRAHMOS-NG has been envisioned as a smaller and lighter, yet smarter weapon system having more versatility, lethality and flexibility along with ultra-precision for deployment onboard a wide range of military platforms, aerial as well as naval.
Key features of BRAHMOS-NG would be:
- Reduced Dimension & Weight for widespread usage
- Advanced next generation stealth
- Greater effectiveness against ECCM
- Higher versatility in underwater combat applications
- Launch readiness from Torpedo tube and vertical orientation
With reduced size and weight, BRAHMOS-NG also holds the potentiality to arm a sizable number of the existing as well as futuristic military platforms.
BRAHMOS-NG also promises to be a highly competent weapon system in the worldwide missile market by providing the existing frontline air and naval platforms of several countries with the choice of deploying a versatile, flexible and universal supersonic cruise missile system in a lighter, smaller and compact configuration without compromising on its higher speed, existing strike range, lethality, stealth and other important characteristics. The miniature missile could also be deployed in land-attack configuration.
