India's Nirbhay subsonic cruise missile
will make its first flight during 2012,
with systems integration work under
way, says Defence Research and
Development Organisation (DRDO)
chief V K Saraswat.
To be fired eventually from a variety
of land, naval and air platforms, the
Nirbhay is planned as a supplement to
the larger Indian/Russian BrahMos
supersonic cruise missile.
With a planned launch weight of
around 1,000kg (2,200lb), the Nirbhay will use a
terrain-following navigation system to reach its
target at distances up to 1,000km (540nm). The
weapon will carry multiple warheads, according to
the DRDO.
