Navy plans fresh trial of BrahMos missile
India is preparing to carry out a fresh trial of supersonic cruise missile BrahMos from a warship in Bay of Bengal off Andhra Pradesh coast. The test is likely to be conducted on March 9.
Defence sources said though the test was planned for February 28, it was deferred as the launching platform was not ready. The test would be conducted by Indian Navy.
Preparation is on for the test with a team of officials of range safety and communications from the Chandipur-based Integrated Test Range (ITR) camping at Visakhapatanam for the mission. We hope to complete the preparation by end of the week and the missile will be fired at the week-end, said a source.
Jointly developed by DRDO and Russias NPO Mashinostroyenia, the BrahMos missile is capable of carrying conventional warheads up to 300 kg for a range of 390 km.
The two-stage missile is about nine metre tall and weighs 3.9 tonnes with the canister.

India test fires submarine-launched version of BrahMos supersonic cruise missile
India today successfully carried out the maiden test firing of the over 290 km-range submarine-launched version of BrahMos supersonic cruise missile in the Bay of Bengal becoming the first country in the world to have this capability.
The submarine-launched version of BrahMos was successfully test fired from an underwater pontoon near here, BrahMos CEO A Sivathanu Pillai said.
This is the first test firing of an underwater supersonic cruise missile anywhere in the world and the missile travelled its complete range of over 290 kms, he said.
He said the performance of the missile during the test launch was “perfect”.
Ship and ground-launched versions of the missile have been successfully tested and put into service with theIndian Army and the Navy.
The maiden test of the submarine-launched version of BrahMos comes over a week after the indigenously built long-range subsonic cruise missile Nirbhay failed to hit its target in its first test.
“BrahMos missile is fully ready for fitment in submarines in vertical launch configuration which will make the platform one of the most powerful weapon platforms in the world,” Pillai said.
Defence Minister A K Antony congratulated DRDO scientists and Russian specialists along with officers of theIndian Navy associated with the project for successful test launch of missile from an underwater platform.

This is the first time that any supersonic cruise missile is launched vertically from a submerged platform. BRAHMOS vertically installed in a modular launcher in the pressure hull of the submarine will increase the offensive power of the vessel without compromising on its defensive power as the torpedo tubes can be fully utilised for defence. This new variant of the supersonic cruise missile will add more fire power to the Navys underwater weapon delivery capabilities.
When contacted by Journalists, Dr. Pillai, CEO & MD BrahMos said that BRAHMOS missile is fully ready for fitment in P75 (I) of Indian Navy in vertical launch configuration which will make the platform one of the most powerful weapon platform in the World.

Missile : BrahMos -SLCM Version
Location: A pontoon off Visakhapatnam in the Bay of Bengal.
Test Frequency: Maiden flight
Performance :
The anti-ship version of the potent missile, with a range of 290 km, blasted off from the pontoon at 2.10 p.m. and hit an altitude of 14 km before cruising along a trajectory at Mach 3 to decimate the designated target as low as 12 metres over the sea. The flight lasted about 400 seconds. the missions objective was to demonstrate the vertical launch of the missile from underwater. The capability has been proven and the missile is ready for fitment on the Navys future submarines under Project 75-I,

Test Frequency: SFC Practice Launch
Performance :
It lifted off from a mobile launcher on Wheeler Island, off the Odisha coast, and travelled its entire range of 2,000 km before splashing into the targeted area in the Bay of Bengal, with an accuracy of a few metres. It was a perfect mission which saw no “holds” and the entire flight lasted more than 10 minutes.
