The BrahMos (also designated as PJ-10) [14] is a medium-range ramjet supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from submarines, ships, fighter aircraft or TEL. [15] It is a joint venture between the Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Russian Federation's NPO Mashinostroyeniya, who together have formed BrahMos Aerospace. [16]
The BrahMos-II is expected to have a range of 1,500 kilometres (930 mi; 810 nmi) [1] and a speed of Mach 8. During the cruise stage of flight, the missile will be propelled by a scramjet airbreathing jet engine. [2] [3] Other details, including production cost and physical dimensions of the missile, are yet to be published. [4] [5] [1]
The Indian Army's BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles mounted on Mobile Autonomous Launchers (MAL) India and Russia have jointly developed the supersonic cruise missile BrahMos. There are three versions of the Brahmos: ship/land-launched, air-launched, and sub-launched. The ship/land-launched version was operational as of late 2007.
The BrahMos Aerospace is an Indo-Russian multinational aerospace and defense corporation, with core manufacturing concentrations in Cruise missiles. Headquartered in New Delhi , India , it was founded as a joint venture between the India's Defence Research and Development Organisation and NPO Mashinostroyeniya of Russia.
A ramjet is a form of airbreathing jet engine that requires forward motion of the engine to provide air for combustion. Ramjets work most efficiently at supersonic speeds around Mach 3 (2,300 mph; 3,700 km/h) and can operate up to Mach 6 (4,600 mph; 7,400 km/h).
It is the second of the BrahMos series of cruise missiles. The BrahMos-II is expected to have a range of 1,000 km (620 mi; 540 nmi) and a speed of Mach 8. During the cruise stage of flight, the missile will be propelled by a scramjet airbreathing jet engine. Other details, including production cost and physical dimensions of the missile, are ...
The effectiveness of this simple method can be dramatic. Typical solid rockets have a specific impulse of about 260 seconds (2.5 kN·s/kg), but using the same fuel in an air-augmented design can improve this to over 500 seconds (4.9 kN·s/kg), a figure unmatched even by high specific impulse hydrolox engines.
A missile is an airborne ranged weapon capable of self-propelled flight aided usually by a propellant, jet engine or rocket motor. [1]Historically, 'missile' referred to any projectile that is thrown, shot or propelled towards a target; this usage is still recognized today with any unguided jet- or rocket-propelled weapons generally described as rocket artillery.
