BrahMos missile gets new navigation system
India has upgraded its BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles by installing the advanced satellite navigation systems from Russia’s Kh-555 and Kh-101 strategic long-range cruise missiles, adding GPSGLONASS technology to the existing doppler-inertial platform.
The integration of the navigation systems from Kh-555 will turn BrahMos, a supersonic cruise missile, into a “superrocket” with almost a sub-strategic capability above its normal tactical range, capable of hitting targets over 300-500 km, from sea, land and air launchers, and capable of being armed with a nuclear warhead, according to sources.
The installation of the advanced navigation system is optimised for the new airlaunched version of BrahMos, which will be carried by India’s Russian-built Sukhoi Su-30MKI strike fighters. India plans to deploy over 200 of the advanced aircraft by 2020.
The Indian Navy carried out a successful test-firing of the sea-launched variant of the weapon on October 7 from the frigate INS Teg off the coast of Goa.
BrahMos can reach a speed of Mach 2.8 at levels as low as 30 feet (10 metres) or fly high-profile diving attacks. The missile was jointly developed by Russia and India, based on the NPO Mashinostroyenie 3M55 Onyx (NATO SS-N-26).
