New Delhi: President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam said on Thursday that the time has come for BrahMos Aerospace Limited to work on the Mark-II version of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile so that we could still be the market leader in hypersonic cruise missiles. In the emerging network-centric warfare scenario, the fast deployment of hypersonic missile systems will be necessary to maintain our force-level supremacy, he said.

Mr. Kalam made these remarks at a function at the BrahMos Aerospace Complex here when he handed over a replica of the mobile autonomous launcher (MAL) of the missile to the Chief of the Army Staff Gen. J.J. Singh, symbolising the commencement of the delivery of the missile’s land version to the Army. BrahMos is a product of India-Russia cooperation.
