About BrahMos Missile

BrahMos is a two-stage solid propellant rocket with a booster motor as a first stage, which is why such supersonic velocity and is then separated. The liquid propellant jet ("ramjet" or the second phase, the missile closer to Mach 3 speed in cruise phase. Stealth technology and guidance system integrated with advanced software provides the missile with special functions.

The BrahMos missile system was inducted into the Indian Navy in 2005, when it began arming of the Rajput class guided missile destroyers and teaching at a later stage many warships.

BrahMos is suitable for the collection of data not only from the American GPS system but also of the Russian GLONASS satellite systems as well, which creates a double redundancy.

The missile has identical configuration for land, sea and undersea platforms and uses a Transport Launch Container (DLC) for transport, storage and launch.
