Navy plans fresh trial of BrahMos missile
By Express News Service - BALASORE 05th March 2013 09:41 AM
India is preparing to carry out a fresh trial of supersonic cruise missile BrahMos from a warship in Bay of Bengal off Andhra Pradesh coast. The test is likely to be conducted on March 9.

Defence sources said though the test was planned for February 28, it was deferred as the launching platform was not ready. The test would be conducted by Indian Navy.

Preparation is on for the test with a team of officials of range safety and communications from the Chandipur-based Integrated Test Range (ITR) camping at Visakhapatanam for the mission. "We hope to complete the preparation by end of the week and the missile will be fired at the week-end," said a source.

Jointly developed by DRDO and Russia's NPO Mashinostroyenia, the BrahMos missile is capable of carrying conventional warheads up to 300 kg for a range of 390 km.

The two-stage missile is about nine metre tall and weighs 3.9 tonnes with the canister.

^^^ it says 390 Km

It is actually 500+km

Re: India Test Fires Underwater Version of Brahmos Missile

290 km Brahmos was major headache for any navy ship, with extension of its range to 500 km it has caused more trouble to other navies and with underwater launch they have only increased it further. If enemy ships want to survive they better clear of 600 km radius of Brahmos missile.

The submarine-launched variant of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile was successfully testfired today for the first time in the Bay of Bengal, off the coast of Visakhapatnam. The launch and test was successful, with the missile hitting its target 292 km away. Photos shortly.

But doesn't 390KM or 500KM disallowed under MTCR? Hope Russia doesn't get into trouble!

if you violate International treaty they cant do much, specially when US and Russia does that.

what other can do ?

US has helped South Korea to extend the range for more then 300 km.

390km mentioned here must be typo error as we have never officially acknowledge the range to be over 290km (due to MTCR)

Another school of thought is that MTCR is not for cruise missiles.

here is good read.

India modifies Brahmos missile with new navigation system - India - DNA

and this

"BrahMos Cruise Missile Not Bound By MTCR, Range Can Be Extended Beyond 300 kilometres"

If that is the case then 1000km Brahmos & 2500km BrahmosII would be the ultimate wet dream! Truly unbeatable weapons!

what other can do ?

US has helped South Korea to extend the range for more then 300 km.

Submarine version of BrahMos test fired successfully - The Hindu

Submarine version of BrahMos test fired successfully

India, on Wednesday, successfully carried out the maiden test firing of the over 290 km-range submarine-launched version of BrahMos supersonic cruise missile in the Bay of Bengal, thus becoming the first country in the world to have this capability.

The submarine-launched version of BrahMos was successfully test fired from an underwater pontoon near Visakhapatnam, BrahMos CEO A Sivathanu Pillai said.

This is the first test firing of an underwater supersonic cruise missile anywhere in the world and it travelled its complete range of over 290 kms, he said.

He said the performance of the missile during the test launch was "perfect".

Ship and ground-launched versions of the missile have been successfully tested and put into service with the Indian Army and the Navy.

The maiden test of the submarine-launched version of BrahMos comes over a week after the indigenously built long-range subsonic cruise missile Nirbhay failed to hit its target in its first test.

"BrahMos missile is fully ready for fitment in submarines in vertical launch configuration which will make the platform one of the most powerful weapon platforms in the world," Mr Pillai said.

Defence Minister A K Antony congratulated DRDO scientists and Russian specialists along with officers of the Indian Navy associated with the project, for successful test launch of missile from an underwater platform.

Yeah it is ready. So where are you going to put it??

Navy does not want VLS Brahmos on new submarines.

Good try Mr. Pillai; now try to fit in tubes, again !
