BrahMos Mini is now BrahMos NG (Next generation) will replace Existing BrahMos in future

And some say Brahmos Range is Upto 500 km


Brahmos ranges:
Lo-Lo profile ~120Km
Hi-Lo profile ~ 300Km
Hi-Hi profile ~ 500km
This is with 300 kg warhead.

There are some murmurs about a precision strike version of 600kms range with 200kg warhead too in various forums but this has never been confirmed although it is speculated that actual range in Hi Hi Hi profile with this 150-180 kg warhead is almost reaching 700 kms (similar to Onyx Yakhont). Also there is a added speculation that India while testing Brahmos had always restricted the overall test timing via means of software to ensure that missile engine turns off after a designated time and thereby the whole flight path is restricted to 290 kms to meet MTCR requirements.

BrahMos Mini is official been dubbed as BrahMos NG (Next generation ) Since Air force, Army, and Navy all are now on-board new missile system project and have agreed to fund and Purchase new lighter Brahmos missile systems.

BrahMos Corporation (BA) in the initial stage wanted to develop BrahMos Mini for Air force so that other fighter aircraft like Mig-29 and Sukhoi-30 could be integrated with the new missile, without carrying out heavy modifications but Army and Navy have expressed their willingness to be part of BrahMos NG (Next generation ) Project which will eventually replace older BrahMos in next decade or so .

BrahMos NG weighing around 1.5 tons with a range of 290km will be able to carry same 300kg payload with the same speed of Mach 3 of it older siblings but will be half in weight and height but will pack same level of punch as the older sibling . NG will be 6 meters and its diameter will be 50 centimeters.

BrahMos NG will have Land-based Army variant, ship-borne and Submarine tube-launched variant for Navy and Air launched variant which can be carried on India air forces Mig-29, sukhoi-30 and FGFA. BrahMos Corporation (BA) has promised first flight of BrahMos NG in 2017-18 and lighter BrahMos will ensure that technology will remain relevant in next decade and also will be harder to detect now and almost impossible to get hit by air-defense missiles.

we need to export the existing variants to bring the cost of the program down
