From Defence Update:-

A model of Brahmos M was displayed at Defexpo 14. As the next generation of the current Brahmos, the missile will have reduced dimmensions, lower weight and higher speed, compared to the current BrahMos. It will be three meter shorter, with a diameter 190mm smaller, compared to the Brahmos. Its weight will be 1500kg, about 500 less than Brahmos. Optimized for airborne and tube-launched submarine applications, Brahmos M will have a range of 300 km (290 for Brahmos) and its speed will be increased to 3.5 Mach (2.8 max in Brahmos). The missile will have stealth features to reduce radar signature and will also have improved electronic counter-countermeasures. The new missile could be operational by 2017, on Indian Su-30MKI, MiG-29 and MiG-29K of the Indian Army and Naval Aviation arm.

Even the existing Kilo-class SSKs should be able to launch this missile.

DRDO to test a number of new missile systems
Rahul Bedi, New Delhi - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
12 February 2014



India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) plans to test several indigenously designed missile systems over the coming months.

DRDO head Avinash Chander told IHS Jane's at Defexpo in New Delhi on 6 February that the nuclear-capable Agni 5 intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM), which has a 5,000 km strike range, would be inducted into service by 2015 following two or three additional test firings by the year-end.

"Agni 5's canister-launched version will be tested before the missile goes into series production to provide it greater operational flexibility and render it less detectable," said Chander.

The 17.5 m tall, solid-fuelled, three-stage Agni 5 weighs around 50 tonnes and has been successfully test-fired twice since April 2012.
