Hypersonic version of BrahMos undergoes successful lab test

Posted by Matt in May 13th, 2008

According to Dr Pillai, the Brahmos hypersonic version will not only have higher speed, but will also consume less fuel and require less operational time to deploy. These qualities are expected to provide the missile longer range, and also ensure less reaction time from the enemy.

High speeds also make the missile difficult to detect, and increase the kinetic impact on the target.
The velocity of the missile is directly proportional to the destruction it causes, with higher velocities causing higher damage, Dr Pillai elaborated.

Dr Pillai also said the hypersonic version was powered by a scramjet engine that is also used for launching satellites at low cost.

Propulsion is based on the Russian Yakhont missile, while guidance is developed by Brahmos corp., established in India is a joint venture between India and Russia. BrahMos is currently one of the few supersonic cruise missiles in the world and at speeds of 2.5 to 2.8 Mach is about 3 times faster than the subsonic cruise missile, BGM-109_Tomahawk. The missile has been developed as a joint venture between the Defence Research & Development Organization (DRDO) from India and the Federal State Unitary Enterprise NPO Mashinostroyenia (NPOM) (Russia) under BrahMos Aerospace.

PJ-10 Brahmos
The BrahMos, a derivative of the Yakhont, was developed by a joint venture between India's Defence Research and Development Organisation and Russia's NPO Mashinostroyenia. The BrahMos missile is a product of an Indo-Russian joint venture known by the same name. Registered in December 1995, the company was set up as a result of an inter-governmental agreement between Russia and India, eventually signed in February 1998, to design, develop, produce and market a supersonic cruise missile jointly.

Zvezda: Captured German Interrogated
From the 2002 Russian film Zvezda, made by the Russian film studio MosFilm. This film, set in 1944, is about a team of 7 Soviet scouts who go behind enemy lines to gather intelligence. Their code name is "zvezda", which means "star"; the code name of their radio base is "earth". In this scene, they grab a Wehrmacht soldier on his way out of a field hosipital and interrogate him. Great film, IMO, and very popular in Russia, almost as popular as 9 Rota (about Soviets in Afghanistan). Much better than Saving Private Ryan, which inspired the director to make it, as a kind of response from the real WW2 (as opposed to the superfluous cake-walk on the western front that only accounted for 10% of German casualties). Suggested reading: -My Silent War, by Kim Philby -No Other Choice, by...

Zvezda: Last Stand (Warning!: Spoiler Scene)
From the 2002 Russian film Zvezda, made by the Russian film studio MosFilm. This film, set in 1944, is about a team of 7 Soviet scouts who go behind enemy lines to gather intelligence. Their code name is "zvezda", which means "star"; the code name of their radio base is "earth". In this scene, the climactic shoot-out, they are finally cornered in a barn while trying to radio the intel they gathered back to base. Great film, IMO, and very popular in Russia, almost as popular as 9 Rota (about Soviets in Afghanistan).
