India wants to apply BrahMos experience to other platforms: Pranab Mukherjee

India today said it wants to replicate the success of Russian-assisted BrahMos supersonic missile project to other defence platforms and equipment as military-technical cooperation between the two strategic partners was built on a strong foundation.

Embarking on his first five-day visit to Russia as the Head of the State, President Pranab Mukherjee said, “Our military-technical cooperation is built on a strong foundation. It now includes joint research, design, development and production of advanced defence systems. The BrahMos supersonic missile project is a vivid illustration.”
Mukherjee said India would like to apply this experience to other defence platforms and equipment.

BrahMos is a joint venture between the Russia’s NPO Mashinostroeyenia and India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) who have together formed the BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited in 1998.
“We believe that the ‘Make in India’ initiative provides exciting new opportunities for India-Russia collaboration in setting up manufacturing facilities in India for Russian weapons systems, their sub-assemblies and components,” Mukherjee told Russian news agency ‘Itar Tass’ ahead of his visit here.

The President said it has been discussed with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who responded very warmly to this approach.
“We are also putting in place more active service-to- service exchanges, training cooperation and regular military exercises,” he said.

Speaking on external policy including terrorism and having a multi-polar world, he said the relationship between two countries covers a wide canvas including cooperation in multi-fora and consultations on global security issued and regional developments.

He said the threat of terrorism in the “shared neighbourhood” is a matter of concern for both Russia and India.
“The threat of terrorism in our shared neighbourhood is a matter of common concern. We work together in G-20 and BRICS to promote our shared interests. We look forward to Russia steering BRICS as its Chairman this year.
“India has also been participating in the activities of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation as an Observer,” he said.

POKHRAN, RAJASTHAN: At 1000 hrs on 07th of November 2015, the Indian Army successfully conducted the test firing of BRAHMOS land-attack cruise missile against a designated target at Pokhran test range in Rajasthan, demonstrating the weapon’s supreme operational capability.

The missile was test launched by a Mobile Autonomous Launcher (MAL) deployed in full configuration.The test-fire, carried out in the user-deployment configuration by trained Army personnel, met all the mission objectives.Senior Army officials witnessed the launch and congratulated the operational team for its successful launch.

“BRAHMOS missile system, the most lethal and potent weapon system for precision strike available with Indian Army, has proved again its effectiveness in today’s successful launch,” Sudhir Mishra, Chief of BrahMos Aerospace remarked telephonically.Dr. S Christopher, Secretary Defence R&D and DG DRDO congratulated Indian Army and BrahMos Aerospace on the successful flight test.

The Indian Army has already inducted three regiments of BRAHMOS in its arsenal. All are equipped with Block-III version of missile, which was recently tested on 08 & 09 May 2015.

The land-attack version of BRAHMOS has been operationalised in the Indian Army since 2007. The fire-and-forget BRAHMOS has the capability to take on surface-based targets by flying a combined hi-lo trajectory, thus evading enemy air defence systems.


Inclusion of the powerful weapon system in Indian Army has given it a distinct operational advantage to knock down any enemy target even in the most difficult and hidden terrains.The BRAHMOS missile, having a range of 290-km and a Mach 2.8 speed, is capable of being launched from land, sea, sub-sea and air against sea and land targets.

BrahMos is a joint venture between DRDO of India and NPOM of Russia.

The first test of the air-launched Brahmos is to be conducted in the Bay of Bengal sometime in December this year. A derelict naval warship is to be hit by a Brahmos launched from a specially modified Su-30MKI.

Indian and Russian missile scientists are now tweaking a formidable capability into the air-launched Brahmos supersonic cruise missile: an ability to shatter airaircraft carriers from extended ranges.

The first test of the air-launched Brahmos is to be conducted in the Bay of Bengal sometime in December this year. A derelict naval warship is to be hit by a Brahmos launched from a specially modified Su-30MKI.

The December test window follows the successful integration and drop test of a Brahmos missile from a modified Su-30MKI at HAL, Nashik on June 25.
Reports from the sidelines of the recently concluded BRICS summit in Goa quoted President Vladimir Putin on plans to increase the range of the 290-km Indo-Russian Brahmos missile. This follows India's entry into the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) club in June 2016. (Non MTCR members cannot access technology for missiles with ranges over 300 km). The army and the navy already operated land and sea-based versions of the Brahmos missile inducted in 1998. The IAF will become the third service to field the missile with the air-launched test of the missile in December.

The IAF will become the third service to field the missile with the air-launched test of the missile in December.

THE TEST

The test will hit the warship target at an angle of 65 degrees and destroy it. But this capability would not enough to stop an aircraft carrier of over 60,000 tonnes. "Carriers have sealable compartments designed to survive multiple hits from anti-ship missiles," one missile scientist says. This is where Phase 2 of the Brahmos missile test comes in next year-fitting a modified radar seeker on the missile that can lock onto a moving aircraft carrier and plunge onto its decks in a near 90-degree death dive. The deck of a large aircraft carrier-nearly 300 metres long and 75 metres wide-presents the largest available target for a homing cruise missile's radar seeker.

"The sheer kinetic energy of the missile travelling at nearly three times the speed of sound and the high explosive warhead will destroy the aircraft carrier," a scientist says. This development comes amidst reports of China's aircraft carrier programme. China inducted a refurbished Sovietbuild aircraft carrier, the 67,000-tonne Liaoning, in 2012. It is building two aircraft carriers, the first of which photographs leaked onto online forums revealed as a Type 001A aircraft carrier being built in China's Dalian shipyard. The first carrier, with a displacement estimated at between 60,000 and 70,000 tonnes, is likely to be inducted into the PLA Navy by 2020. China has claimed to have modified its DF-21D medium range ballistic missiles into antiship ballistic missiles (ASBMs). The capability was developed specifically to target US aircraft carriers from ground-based launchers over 1700-km away.


IS IT TOO EARLY?

Naval analysts say it is still early days before India can field a similar carrier-killing capability. "The missile has to tick a number of boxes before it can be called a carrier killer," says former navy chief Admiral Arun Prakash (retired). "The missile has to be able to acquire the carrier over 300 km away, escape radar jamming from its target and, finally, home in on the target and destroy it."

Brahmos scientists say they are confident of meeting all these challenges.

Some of these capabilities, they say, were demonstrated in a very significant test of the Brahmos in May 2015. A Brahmos missile launcher was airlifted by an IAF C-17 Globemaster III to the Andaman islands. A surface-to-surface version of the missile was fired and successfully hit a target on an island nearly 300 km away. The missile navigated through a series of waypoints before hitting the target within a 5-metre circular error probable (CEP).

MTCR benefit: India, Russia to develop 600-km range cruise missiles that can cover entire Pakistan
By Dipanjan Roy Chaudhury & Manu Pubby, ET Bureau | Updated: 19 Oct, 2016, 07:51 hrs IST

• India's offensive capacity, especially against Pakistan, is set to take a huge step forward with New Delhi andMoscow deciding to jointly develop a new generation of Brahmos missiles with 600 km-plus range and an ability to hit protected targets with pinpoint accuracy.
  
  This range enables these missiles to strike anywhere within Pakistan. That Russia can work with India to produce these missiles is thanks to New Delhi joining the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) in June this year.
  
  MTCR guidelines prohibit its members from transfer, sale or joint production of missiles beyond 300-km range with countries outside the club.
  
  
  
  
  
  Brahmos' current range is 300 km, which makes it difficult to hit targets deep inside Pakistan. India has ballistic missiles with longer range than the next generation Brahmos. But Brahmos' ability to take down specific targets, even well-protected ones, makes it a potential game changer in any conflict with Pakistan. Ballistic missiles are powered for the initial half of their flight path and they use gravity to complete their trajectory. But cruise missiles are powered throughout.
• similar to a pilot-less fighter jet that can be maneuvered in flight, programmed to attack targets from any angle and evade enemy missile defence systems. Brahmos can, for example, take down terror camps or hideouts even in mountain areas, where natural protection makes any other offensive action, bar crossing the border, ineffective.
  
  The Indo-Russian agreement, signed during the bilateral summit at Goa, also includes development of missiles with smaller range that can be fired from submarines and aircraft. The deal was not made public at the summit — where other projects like sale of frigates and the S-400 air defence system purchase — were announced. Vladimir Putin told journalists from his country that the missile deal has also been signed. "We have also agreed to improve the Brahmos missile, which will be land, air and sea launched. We will also work to increase its range. And we will work together on a fifth-generation aircraft," Putin said, without sharing details.
  
  ET spoke with several senior Indian officials involved in negotiations. They confirmed that a pact to double the range of the Brahmos missile was finalised. These officials spoke on the condition they not be identified. They also said producing longer-range Brahmos will not be tough because no fundamental reworking is involved in increasing the range. India, post its MTCR membership, is also pursuing export options for its 300-km range Brahmos. Vietnam has expressed interest in the missile system.

Complex 3K-22 Zircon / Zircon-C, 3 M-22 rocket

Interspecific missile system with a hypersonic missile / anti-ship missile operational use. To available information According, the development of the complex is being of "the NPO Machine Building" ( East -. Annual the Report, page 15 ). For first application of The the development of the complex in the media to refer to February 2011. There WAS Also not Officially confirmed the Assumption That the export version of the missile "Zircon mounted" is an RCC " of of BrahMos-II of of ". Until 2012 WAS Also a there hypothesis That the complex yavlyaeetsya by successor complex " Bolide " the development of the NPO Machine Building ".

With In 2011, the NGO" Engineering "as part of the Directorate 15-51 was organized by a group of leading designers on 3M - 22 by by Sergei Bunakov, Denis Vitushkin, Yuri Vorotyntseva and Alekseem Naydenovym ( -source ) with In the Same | 2011, seems to have developed a draft design of the complex "Zircon-C", and, accordingly, the preliminary designs of the complex subsystems Part .. D - "Zircon mounted-the C-ARC" and "Zircon mounted-the C-the RV" to Fulfill Structural HRCT division - UPKB "the Detail" ( -source ) of As of the 2011 serial production in the coming years missiles of "Zircon" is planned. AT "Strela" (Orenburg, East -. Annual the Report, page 15 ) the complete the Establishment of the missile system is until, 2020. Planned.

according to the analysis of the information on are subject for the: second the half of 2012 has been suggested that the topic of "Zircon" either closed or changed . the actual evidence for the this Assumption WAS not, But IT is likely to That IT WAS the of a closing work on the topic Could for Contents Technical Reasons lo a cause the appearance of the Government's Proposals for the Unification of the the ICD "the Rainbow" from "the NPO Machine Building" for the Organization of work on hypersonic.

May 25, 2013, the this information has Been adjusted -source : the development of the complex according to off-plan Continues, But DURING 2012 there was a pause caused by technical problems . Direct connection with the reorganization of work on hypersonic and the situation with the theme of OCD or research "Zircon" no. "We now have before is the concept of hypersonic technology, which introduces GZLA classification, the priority development of various technologies and materials for GZLA. The main focus of the first stage, of course, taken the development of the system that has been tested by us. of the REST of the direction yet scheduled as with the experimental with the Conditions creation of the demonstrators. HOWEVER, the the existing a backlog of in Them is consistent with international standards. No less See by important than the Conditions creation of Technologies, materials and Demonstrator s, now! Just the development of OTHER concepts - Concepts of combat use of hypersonic weapons systems necessary to answer the question -. Why do we need such a system, how they should be applied, in any form and manner which the objectives will be achieved by the application and the main question - . in what is the uniqueness of Systems for These and what tasks for They CAN Decide feature to impossible impossible That IT is to the solve the the existing weapons Systems. "

of the message -source from the July 15, 2015 stated the readiness to test RPC "Zircon ". Probably, it is a full-flight development tests. Flight tests of the media began in the autumn of 2015 ( source , 2016). 2.19.2016, the media-source reports That are Already flight-design tests rocket state AT the end of the which a Decision is made on the Adoption of a rocket "Zircon mounted" Adopted Russian Navy ships. April 19, 2016 reported that the missile "Zircon", state that the test will be completed in 2017, in 2018 be put into to serial production ( source ).

February 8, 2017 the media reported about the plans of the test missile launch "Zircon" a sea carrier spring 2017 It is reported that previous rocket is launched from the Plesetsk test site, which is contrary to the existing environment in the expert views ( source ).
