Here is some information about Brahmos ,from force mag..

It is not the complete one,paid site ,sorry....

bold part is bit interesting and in red one is truly mind-blowing.

It is all systems go for Block 2 of the BrahMos supersonic land-attack cruise missile (MRCM), which was previously only available for anti-ship strike. Following two successful test-firings conducted on March 4 and March 29, the precision-guided land-attack variant is now entering series-production for both the Indian Army and the Navy, with service induction planned for 2011. The Indian Air Force is expected to begin inducting the BrahMos’ maritime strike and land-attack versions by 2012 following its flight qualification on board the Su-30MKI.

The Army, which in 2006 had raised its first regiment — the 861st — with the BrahMos’ Block 1 variant, will in future raise two additional regiments — the 862nd and 863rd — and equip them with an initial 260 land-attack missiles (to be mounted on 72 wheeled mobile autonomous launchers, or MAL, each carrying three cannistered, vertically launched missiles). All three BrahMos regiments will form part of the Army’s existing 40th and 41st Artillery Divisions. Work on developing the BrahMos Block 2 had begun two years ago, with the focus being on deriving a new algorithm for the Granit JSC-supplied X-band SGH active radar’s applications software. The algorithm — called SCAN (for Scene Correlation and Navigation) — enables the SGH radar to make use of pre-uploaded imagery of ground-based reference structures (man-made or natural) obtained earlier by synthetic aperture radars (SAR) like the pod-mounted ELTA Systems-supplied EL/M-2060P SAR (acquired in mid-2008) carried by the Su-30MKI, to acquire the target even against dense ground clutter conditions by day or night. Consequently, the BrahMos’ land-attack variant has a circular error probability of no more than a metre. For ensuring accurate navigation during the missile’s cruise phase and for activating the SGH radar during the terminal phase, use is made of an on-board ring laser gyro-based inertial navigation system (RLG-INS) that was developed earlier by the Defence Research & Development Organisation (DRDO).
