This missile is costly but since it is a loitering missile it can be directed to break off its search and attack the target or any other target it is assigned by the commanders ,so once it is fired if no targets are found it can be brought back.
thanks i expect the same from Nirbhy...............:thumb:
wow looks like a V-1 reloaded :shocked:We may ended up seeing something like this :
but a turbofan/turbojet engine breaths from the atmosphereThe maiden launch of Nirbhay, India's sub-sonic cruise missile, has been further delayed. The launch, which was to take place in November this year, will now be done in January 2013, Dr. Saraswat said.
A DRDO official said the Nirbhay launch was delayed because modifications had to be made in the launcher.While India already had had a successful supersonic cruise missile in BrahMos, it felt the need to develop a sub-sonic cruise missile. Hence the development of Nirbhay, which would fly at 0.65 Mach. The Aeronautical Development Establishment, a DRDO unit in Bangalore, designed Nirbhay, which had been derived from Lakshya, a pilotless target aircraft. Nirbhay is a two-stage, surface-to-surface, terrain-hugging missile. "It takes the oxidiser from the air.
So it can travel for a longer duration and a longer distance. Its range is around 1,000 km."

or it is a subsonic airbreathing ramjet engine :cerealspit:
this was mentioned in BR by indranilroy at 22 Dec 2012 at 00:32 AM and copy post and water marked by Prasun K. Sengupta at Dec 2012 at 2:13 AM. No wonder people call him Chor,Nirbhay Cruise Missile Family Finally Revealed
The topmost schematic shows the 1,200km-range subsonic Nirbhay nuclear-armed cruise missile, which will be available in both air-launched and submarine-launched versions. The ALCM version will be qualified for use by 20 specially customised Su-30MKIs, while the SLCM variant will go on board the S-2, S-3 and S-4 SSBNs.
The illustration below is that of a smaller, conventional warhead-armed air-launched subsonic variant of Nirbhay with a range of 750km, which will be qualified for launch from combat aircraft like the DARIN 3-standard Jaguar IS as well as Rafale M-MRCA.
TRISHUL
i was thinking if you look at the Specifications of Brahmos
finally it is looking close to this
this must be final design because you can launch it from sub easily.
The MoD-owned Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd's (HAL) Bengaluru-based EngineTest Bed Research & Development Centre (ETBRDC) has developed a turbofan.Which Engine is used?
NPO Saturn 36 MT
or Laghu Shakti?
