Brahmos Missile Air Force Variant by 2012, Hypersonic Brahmos in 5 years: Dr. A.S. Pillai | India Defence
2010-10-23 The BrahMos cruise missile is being upgraded for increased speed from super sonic to hypersonic. This information was revealed by Dr. A.S. Pillai, CEO and Managing Director of BrahMos.

BrahMos is a supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from submarines, ships, aircraft or land. It is a joint venture between India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Russia's NPO Mashinostroeyenia who have together formed BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited.

* The upgrade will take at least five years as it requires modification of scram-jet engine, technology, reduction size and weight. The budget for the project is yet to be estimated. Pillai noted that it was too early to go into details.

* On the air version of BrahMos for IAF will be ready by 2012 and tested at SAR platform of Sukhoi Su-30.

* After the induction of this version, India will be the only country which will have supersonic missiles in all the defence forces.

* BrahMos missile have already been inducted into Army and Navy. Scientists have recently conducted successful the steep dive test of BrahMos missile, making the missile a multi-faceted and multi-discipline.

Why do you think that the test has anything to to with visits by the head of the states? if so they had tested it in September only.

If you are so sure that its because of the visits only than why did you asked the question itself as you already knew the answer??

Just got my hands on this video clip of India's Shaurya tactical nuclear capable missile -- this is extended footage of its first test exactly two years ago on November 12, 2008. The clip that DRDO released in 2008 was very short. This adds a minute-and-a-half.
